The Enphase Iq System - enphase IQ8 Installation And Operation Manual

The Enphase IQ System

The Enphase IQ System includes:
• IQ8, IQ8+, IQ8M, IQ8A, and IQ8H Microinverters: The smart grid-ready
IQ Series Microinverters convert the DC output of the PV module into grid-compliant
AC power.
•
IQ Gateway (ENV-IQ-AM1-240): The IQ Gateway is a communication device that
provides network access to the PV array. The IQ Gateway collects production and
performance data from the IQ Microinverters over on-site AC power lines and transmits
the data to Enphase through an internet or cellular modem connection. IQ Gateway is
required to update the grid profile setting, which is required for certain utilities. The
IQ Gateway is capable of monitoring up to 600 Enphase IQ Microinverters and up to 39
Enphase IQ Batteries. Microinverters should be continuously connected to the internet
using an IQ Gateway. This will help ensure that they can be monitored remotely and that
the product can receive over-the-air firmware updates.
NOTE: All 208 VAC installations require that you use the Enphase IQ Gateway to
commission the Enphase microinverters to propagate correct grid profile settings for
208 VAC trip points.
•
Enphase Installer Platform Web-based monitoring and management software:
Installers can use the Enphase Installer Platform to view detailed performance data,
manage multiple PV systems, and remotely resolve issues that might impact system
performance. Find out more at
•
Enphase Installer App for iOS and Android devices: It allows installers to configure
the system while on-site, eliminating the need for a laptop and improving installation
efficiency. You can use the app to:
o
Connect to the IQ Gateway over a wireless network for faster system
setup and verification.
o
View and email a summary report that confirms a successful installation.
o
