How the Enphase Microinverter System Works 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
After the IQ Gateway is installed and the microinverters are scanned or provisioned, it maintains an internal database of all known Enphase Microinverters at the site it manages. At regular intervals, the IQ Gateway polls each microinverter for its energy data. Using its Internet connection, the IQ Gateway then forwards that information to Enlighten. -
Page 8: Pre-Installation Checks
Review the following pre-installation checks before you install the IQ Gateway. Download the Enphase Installer App The Enphase Installer Toolkit is a mobile app for iOS and Android devices (smart phone or tablet) that allows installers to configure the system while onsite, eliminating the need for a laptop and improving installation efficiency. -

Page 12: Provide A Power Connection
Wiring for power varies depending on the model of your IQ Gateway. Provide Power for the IQ Gateway-M (ENV-S-WM-230 or ENV-S-AM1-230-60) The IQ Gateway-M (ENV-S-WM-230 or ENV-S-AM1-230-60) uses terminal blocks for power connections. When you hard- wire the IQ Gateway outdoors, you must install it in an IP54-rated, or better enclosure with conduit attachment. -
