<p>If you are using the IQ Combiner, the wiring diagram is on the inside cover. Coming from the array, L1, L2 and G. Going to the utility interconnection, L1, L2, G, N. L1, L2 into the 20a breakers, G to the G busbar, N to the N busbar. It's all there and
is a nice package I think. My personal preference is to use manufacturer's equipment instead of making my own. I don't know if the AHJ would complain about non-listed equipment in the case of making your own DAS center. The Envoy may need a button pushed
once in a while. I have asked customers to do this to save a trip. The Enphase "package" is safe for them to do that. I hope I did not miss your question. Chris<br>
