Do not wire unused terminals or terminal blocks on the Envoy-S. DANGER: Risk Do not use Enphase equipment in a manner not specified by the manufacturer. of electric Doing so may cause death or injury to persons, or damage to equipment. -
Page 6: The Enphase Envoy-S
This integrated system maximises energy harvest, increases system reliability, and simplifies design, installation and management. The Enphase Microinverter converts the DC output of the PV module into grid-compliant AC power. In addition to performing the DC to AC conversion, it maximises energy production by using a sophisticated Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) algorithm. -
Page 7: Installation Planning And Preparation
At regular intervals, the Envoy-S polls each Enphase device for its energy data. Using its Internet connection, the Envoy-S then forwards that information to Enlighten. The Envoy-S also reports any error conditions affecting itself or other Enphase devices. You can view both energy data and error conditions in Enlighten. -
Page 8: Pre-Installation Checks
If you are installing in a multiphase application, the power line communication signal must be “coupled” between the phases to allow the Envoy to communicate with all of the Enphase devices in the system. Install a phase coupler on the load side of the over-current protection device. See the Enphase Technical Brief on Phase Coupling for your region at enphase.com/support... -

Page 20: Connect To Enlighten
9. Connect to Enlighten The Envoy-S requires a connection to the Internet for reporting to Enlighten. You can provide this connection through an existing broadband router, other Wi-Fi access point, or by using the Enphase Mobile Connect cellular modem. WARNING! Risk of Equipment Damage. Do not remove power from the Envoy-S if the LEDs are flashing green. -

The Envoy-S identifies each device by its unique serial number. If you add more devices to an existing system or replace an Enphase Microinverter or Enphase AC Battery, you can run a scan to detect the new devices. To initiate a scan after you add new devices to an existing Enphase system, perform the following steps. -
