Commissioning and Operation

WARNING: Be aware that only qualified personnel must connect the Enphase Microinverter

to the utility grid.

WARNING: Ensure that all AC and DC wiring is correct. Ensure that none of the AC and DC

wires are pinched or damaged. Ensure that all AC junction boxes are properly closed.

WARNING: Connect the Enphase Microinverter to the utility grid only after receiving prior

approval from the electrical utility company.

NOTE: The Status LED on the underside of each microinverter will blink green six times to

indicate normal start-up operation approximately one minute after DC power is applied.

To commission the Enphase Microinverter PV system:

1. Turn ON the AC disconnect or circuit breaker for each microinverter AC branch circuit.

2. Turn ON the main utility-grid AC circuit breaker. Your system will start producing power after a

five-minute wait time.

3. The Enphase Microinverters will begin communicating over the power lines to the Envoy. The

time required for all microinverters to report to the Envoy will vary with the number of

microinverters in the system. The first units should be detected within 15 minutes but the entire

system could take hours to detect.

4. The M215 has field adjustable voltage and frequency trip points. If adjustments are required by

your local utility, the installer can use the Envoy to Manage the Grid Profile after all

microinverters have been detected.

The Enphase Microinverter is powered on when sufficient DC voltage from the PV module is applied. The

Status LED of each microinverter will blink green six times to indicate normal start-up operation

approximately one minute after DC power is applied. You may need to use a handheld mirror to view

indicator lights on the undersides of the microinverters.
