[RE-wrenches] Enphase IQ series inverters

[Wayne Irwin]

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.
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.

Wayne:



Have you had any difficulties with communications reliability?  Do you install a separate load center for Enphase Equipment?  Are there any tips or tricks one might not be aware of?



Thank you for any information you can share.



Sincerely,



William Miller

We've been using them for about a year now. So far no failures which is quite remarkable considering the fairly large number that we've installed. We're keeping our fingers crossed!

Hello Wrenches,

Does anyone have a track record on the Enphase IQ inverter?

Thanks,
