HI Guys, Soliciting advice for a future enhancement upgrades to an existing grid-tied Enphase system. I have 3000 watts of panels on the roof with older Enphase microinverters and an Envoy. Here's where I am trying get to with this system: While in a grid down situation, incorporating battery...

Enphase Battery Owners: Hi Peeps, My IQ10T battery charging is averaging about 1.5 kilowatts per day while the battery is in the full backup mode. Is this normal? The app shows a daily charge rate of 1.5 kwh, while the discharge rate (per day) is usually .1 kwh. Where is this 1400 watts...

Hi Guys, New to the forum here. Anybody here have or have some indirect experiences with the new Enphase IQ8 controllers? I have an interest in upgrading my older Enphase inverters for the sun light backup feature (IQ8s), but the reviews I am seeing are abysmal (Reddit/Amazon). Cheers, G

Anybody here running a whole house fan? Thinking about installing one to draw up cool air from the basement in the summer months. Would appreciate any lessons learned/useful advice with respect to running one of these devices. Thanks Much! G

Hi Guys, Need some advice about the proper direction to take with adding a DIY battery source to an existing Enphase system (4000 watts of panels plus an IQ-10 battery). Would replacing the existing 8 circuit backup subpanel with one of these manual transfer switch sub panels (e.g., the...

Guys, What equipment exists (if any) to manually switch a microinverter solar array output to an inverter box for a DIY backup battery bank? IOTWs, how can I manually transfer the solar output from the roof to a completely autonomous battery back up system?

Hi Peeps, Have a a couple of questions on basic principles with respect to microinverter style solar systems. Forgive my terminology/lexicon with respect to appropriate terms. I am a beginner with all this stuff. From one bank of panels to the the next how do microinverters "merge"...

Hi Peeps, I am in the process of doing preliminary research with upgrading my existing residential solar system. Seems, that installers in my area won't do the upgrading of my system because "they didn't do the initial install" which from a prospective customer basis makes zero sense to me...

Hi Guys, Can the Enphase SMEs weigh-in with Enphase equipment that has CT monitoring integrated into the product itself? Thanks Much! G

Morning Peeps, After doing the research with mainstream solar backup solutions (Enphase, Tesla, etc.) I've come to these conclusions: The "mainstream solution" batteries are too costly, the installer costs are shady, and there's too many pitfalls with respect to warranty reliance. I am...

Enphase IQ Battery Backup Owners, Have a quick question about grid down charging logic: Can the Enphase system charge the battery during sun light periods in a grid down (black out) scenario? Or is battery charging limited to grid up only periods? A web search doesn't turn up much with...

Question for those knowledgeable Enphase peeps: Is there anyway to control the system (such as battery settings, system monitoring, etc.) via the Enphase app in an autonomous fashion? Autonomous meaning, no internet, no means of communication with the Gateway cloud. Thanks for the input! G

Guys, Looking for some input on sub panel configuration. I have a sub panel installed by a certified Enphase installer. Equipment-wise, what's the possibility (if any) of a sub panel that can be manually switched (and isolated) from one battery backup system to another? Currently, I have...
