<div dir="ltr">one thing that's cool with the new IQ system is that you have the option to not only monitor your production, but also your consumption. in order to do this you will need to run a CT to the lineside of your MSP, so even if you use a dedicated load center for Enphase equip, be prepared to run wire to the MSP if you want to use the consumption feature. also worth noting that while their isn't a neutral coming from the inverters, you will need a neutral in the load center for the envoy...</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr">Adam Katzman<br>Autonomous Energies<br>PO Box 1245</div><div dir="ltr">Kingston, NY 12402<br><a href="http://www.autonomousenergies.com" target="_blank">www.autonomousenergies.com</a><br>(518) 567-1468<br><br></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>

We always install a separate sub-panel for all Enphase circuits with the Envoy tied in the sub panel bas well. Communication is never an issue with this method. I have to say that Enphase may have (dare I say it) the most reliable monitoring available.
<br>
One trick we've learned is, if possible, use the wps option to gain web access so that when your customer changes their WiFi password the Envoy is not locked out causing you to make another trip.<span class=""><br>
