Page 6: The Enphase Envoy Communications Gateway
The Enphase Envoy Communications Gateway The Envoy is an integral component of the Enphase Energy Microinverter system.

The Envoy functions as a gateway and monitors the microinverters that are connected to the photovoltaic modules. -
Page 7: How The Envoy Communications Gateway Works
Enphase Enlighten monitoring and analysis website. The Envoy communicates with the individual microinverters over the existing power wires in the residence or business. After the Envoy is installed, no additional configuration work is required. After the Envoy is installed and completes its initial scan, it assembles an internal database of all known Enphase Microinverters at the site it manages. -
