Parts and tools required
In addition to the microinverters, PV modules, and racking, you will need the following:
Enphase equipment
•
IQ Gateway: Required to monitor production. For installation information,
refer to the IQ Gateway Installation and Operations Manual.
•
Enphase Installer App: Download the Enphase Installer App, open it,
and log in to your Enphase account. Use it later to scan microinverter
serial numbers and connect to the IQ Gateway to track the system
installation progress. To download, go to
za/installers/apps
•
IQ Relay: single-phase (Q-RELAY-1P-INT) or IQ Relay, multi-phase (Q-RELAY-3P-INT). For
the Italy region, use IQ Relay (Q-RELAY-2-3P-ITA) for both single-phase and multi-phase
applications.
NOTE: The multi-phase IQ Relay also provides phase coupling to allow microinverters on
all phases to communicate with the IQ Gateway. Use a Legrand Phase Coupler (LPC-01)
for a multi-phase system for phase coupling if IQ Relay is not installed in the multi-phase
system.
•
Tie wraps or cable clips (ET-CLIP-100 works with both single-phase and multi-phase IQ
Cable)
•
IQ Sealing Cap (Q-SEAL-10): for any unused connectors on the IQ Cable.
•
IQ Terminator (Q-TERM-R-10 for single-phase or Q-TERM-3P-10 for multi-phase): One
for each AC cable segment end; typically, two are needed per branch circuit.
•
IQ Disconnect Tool (Q-DISC-10)
•
IQ Field Wireable Connectors (male and female: single-phase; Q-CONN-R-10M and Q-
CONN-R-10F; multi-phase: Q-CONN-3P-10M and Q-CONN-3P-10F)
•
