The Enphase AC Battery
The Enphase Storage System includes the Enphase AC Battery™ and uses the Enphase Envoy-S
Metered™ to measure PV production, home energy consumption, and energy storage. The system
knows when it is optimal to charge or discharge battery power so that energy is stored when it is
abundant and used when scarce.
Access Your System Online
You can view your PV solar production, your electricity consumption, and your energy storage using
Enphase MyEnlighten™. Once your installer creates a profile with your email address, Enphase will
email your system's unique MyEnlighten web link and a temporary password. Read the Enlighten
