This is called powerline communications.
Envoy solar panel monitor.
Web based monitoring and analysis software the enlighten website provides a wide range of information on the performance of the solar power system and individual solar panels a graphical representation of the solar array provides at a glance information on the status of each module.
If enlighten is not updating with current production data it may be because your system is no longer connected to the internet.
The envoy communicates with the other solar hardware in your system over your home s electrical wiring.
The iq envoy communicates with iq microinverters transmitting performance and production data which can be viewed either directly from the iq envoy or online from any internet connected device.
The enphase iq envoy communications gateway delivers solar production and energy consumption data to enphase enlighten monitoring and analysis software for comprehensive remote maintenance and management of the enphase iq system with integrated revenue grade production metering and optional consumption monitoring the envoy iq is the platform for total energy management and integrates.
Plug play setup.
Works with older models that only have production metrics ie.
The envoy uses its intelligence to make life simpler for both installers and system owners with in depth monitoring energy usage insights remote update capabilities and load management.
The enphase iq envoy enables remote system monitoring and update capabilities for enphase iq microinverter systems.
There is no wireless communication between the envoy and your microinverters or your enphase storage solution.
The envoy independently or within the iq combiner connects each component to create one seamless home energy solution smart simple and powerful.
A sensor platform for the enphase envoy solar energy gateway.
Enphase envoy communications gateway env 120.
Envoy c and newer models that offer both production and consumption metrics ie.
You can verify this by checking the status indicator at the top of your myenlighten overview screen.
Your envoy may connect wirelessly to myenlighten but that is a separate communications.
Enphase myenlighten web application for system owners.
If you see the message as shown in the picture above it means that your envoy is offline and unable to upload data.
The enphase envoy connects your enphase microinverters to the enphase enlighten web based monitoring service allowing you view your panel performance in an easy to use graphical interface.
To enable this sensor add the following lines to your configuration yaml file.
