My experience with them is this: they know their old Envoys are garbage (the M-Series are failing left and right now). The executives made the decision that they will no longer manufacture new M-Envoys. I don't know their posture regarding S-Series, I haven't seen those fail yet. So instead of selling you a good brand new M-Envoy, they try to connive you into replacing 100% of your microinverters with IQ-Enphase - you know, because they are such a great, responsible company.</div><div class=""> Actual options moving forward are to find a used M-Series Envoy that you have tested in-house before you go on your 5 hour drive. I have one I can sell you. Or you deliver the bad news to the customer and tell them the truth - they are flying blind without a functioning Envoy. Ground mounts aren't that bad since you could teach the customer to walk up and verify PV current on each module with a decent meter. For me essentially all of my Enphase fleet went onto residential rooftops where regular access is not an option. What kills me about Enphase is that every step of the way over the last 15 years - EVERY single time they changed their inverter architecture, they promised that all the new stuff would be backward compatible with old gear. And every single time, they were full of it.</div></div><br class=""><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, Mar 15, 2024 at 9:49 AM Jay via RE-wrenches <<a href="mailto:re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org" class="">re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org</a>> wrote:<br class=""></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">Hi all<br class="">
<br class="">
Is there anyway to get tech support with remote coms?<br class="">
<br class="">
I got a call just the other day from someone with an envoy. It’s stopped communicating to enohase. Enphase says they need the installer who’s now gone. <br class="">
They just won’t help the customer. <br class="">
It’s about a 5 hr round trip for me. Which is nuts as I’ll have to communicate with enohase anyway. <br class="">
<br class="">
And I’ve heard rhis exact issue multiple times from numerous people. Envoy has lights but has stopped communicating. I’ve heard enohase tech say “the panels are wired wrong. “. You mean they magically changed after 10 years?<br class="">
<br class="">
Does anyone have a person/number etc of who will help them?<br class="">
<br class="">
Thanks<br class="">
