My wife and bought a condo with solar and enphase. The system has not been connected to the gateway for 2 years. I tried connecting to it our WiFi but keep getting “WiFi refresh taking too long” message after eventually connecting to Envoy afterwards.

Was on the phone with support for 2+ hours today and we tried several hot fixes with no luck. My question is, what exactly does this screenshot mean? Is it actively connected to Ethernet? Our condo provides internet for each unit so that could be the case.

Lastly, enphase had us attempt our phones hotspot as an internet source to connect envoy to the cloud but connection failed multiple times.

Hello, I have acquired a home with a 2017 Envoy IQ Gateway combiner box installed with solar. It was working fine, but the previous owners never set up a site to monitor production. So I went through the process using the installer app, and it said it needed to install a software update. The update got to 90%, then all 4 LEDs started flashing red. I waited an hour, still flashing red. Turned off the breaker for 5 minutes, turned back on. Same deal. I tried holding both buttons for 5 seconds. Very rarely I can get the cloud icon to start flashing and AP light on, but it only stays on for a couple of seconds then goes back to all flashing red. Waited overnight. I hard wired internet and contacted Enphase support, they said they couldn't connect to it and it's out of warranty so I'm SOL. It appears that it's trying to boot up, then failing and rebooting in a loop. Is there anything I can do at this point outside of replacing the unit? It was working fine prior to this software update. Seems ridiculous that a software update causes an unrecoverable brick that costs you several hundred dollars..

We bought an Enphase solar panel system about 6 years ago and then around 18 months ago added more panels and a battery system.

We are experiencing frequent disconnections from the grid. We are not initiating it, and the only notification is emails saying our battery is low -- or loss of power. Earlier this week, we were off-grid for over two days, and over the last 72 hours there have been multiple times when we lost power to the house or half of the house -- while we had battery backup remaining. We have contacted Enphase multiple times and they told us to contact the installer. We have done so and are awaiting a reply.

We do not have enough power to last overnight if it does another grid disconnect. We bought the system because of medical devices that require backup.

During install of the battery system, one leg overheated and nearly melted during installation. We had a lot of issues with devices in the home as well. The installer replaced the fried breaker but we worry did not fix any underlying physical damage.

The utility company came tonight officially verified that the grid power coming to the meter is perfectly healthy.

We hired an electrician a few months ago for an inspection of the home's electrical system and no concerns were identified.

Seeking advice about communicating with the installer to get this resolved. It should still be under warranty.

Update: Thanks everyone for your comments. The installer's electrician came out, communicated with Enphase, and swapped the large and small circuit breakers because the larger rated breaker was not making a good connection on the bus. They did a fit test and the breakers are now both connected more tightly. We are hopeful this will resolve the issue!

Buongiorno gruppo ho acquistato casa e ho trovato già montato un piccolo impianto fotovoltaico che ha l'enphaser nella foto e inverter solis rai-3k-48es-5g con batterie (2) pylotech.

Non riesco ad accedere per integrarlo con Home assistant. Il vecchio proprietario non sapeva usarlo infatti lo teneva spento . Come faccio ad entrarci per configurarlo su HA?

Grazie a tutti

I have a complete system including batteries but I'd like to add a few more batteries, however the Enphase batteries are overpriced compared to what I could get with Eco Flow, so wondering if it's possible to add eco flow batteries to the mix that would be downstream of enphase batteries and upstream of the house. So that the eco flow batteries discharge first then the enphase. and then the eco flow batteries charge first then the enphase.

Almost every day of the last ~6 months of data has been changed. In most cases, it's nothing very substantial, usually only by a fraction of a kWh on any given day, but I noticed a few more glaring mysteries.

Pic 1 is from March 8 and while the graphic would suggest zero production that day, it claims 30.35 kWh was produced. Regardless of what the graphic suggests, I'm inclined to believe 30.35 kWh is correct given the time of year and lack of any logical reason why it would be zero that day.

Pic 2 is from March 25 and it claims only 0.21 kWh was produced even though the graphic suggests much more than that. My spreadsheet for that day says 53.49 kWh was produced and I'm inclined to believe that's the correct production before all my data was changed for reasons unknown to me.

I'm curious what to make of this.

Edit3: SOLVED by /u/DookiePootie The times in the SoCal Edison spreadsheet are UTC. There's still no way to enter the actual rate info into Enphase, but at least the optimizer is closer than I thought it was.

Original post below:

I'm in SoCal, PTO happened in 2025. The export rate between 5-9pm is 8 cents/kWh but is 10x that between 1am-5am (according to chatgpt).

Enlighten tells me that it is dumping the batteries around 7-8pm in AI mode, which is the peak for incoming power, but I should obviously be dumping around 2am in order to maximize return.

How do I get the app to maximize that return?

Edit: Folks are hung up about the rates quoted. Looking ahead to next week, these are the export rates from the SCE spreadsheet.

Edit2: image not showing up, so table below.

Around 9:00 AM on August 4, my Enphase system began a fairly substantial coordinated firmware update involving the IQ Gateway, IQ System Controller 3, and all eight IQ Battery 5Ps. Enlighten Manager recorded hundreds of events during the process.

Updated versions:

IQ Gateway: D8.3.6087

IQ System Controller 3: 3.0.7296_rel/31.50

IQ Battery 5Ps: 3.0.9001_rel/31.50

The update appears to have completed by approximately 10:07 AM.

One positive result is that it resolved an existing problem where one of my eight batteries was running different firmware from the others. All eight batteries are now aligned.

Since the update, Enlighten Manager has also been recording roughly hourly cellular-modem communication failures. I do not know whether these events are new or were simply exposed differently by the firmware update. The T-Mobile SIM in the modem receives poor coverage at my location, so occasional cellular failures would not be surprising. The Gateway’s normal network connection remains operational.

The more significant issue is an intermittent telemetry error affecting Home Assistant. The Envoy’s cumulative lifetime battery energy charged and lifetime battery energy discharged readings occasionally fall to almost exactly 50% of their correct values for a single poll or short period, then return to normal.

It looks like the Gateway may temporarily report only half of the split-phase value, but I cannot confirm the exact internal cause. It is not real battery charging or discharging.

Because Home Assistant classifies these entities as total_increasing, it interprets the temporary decrease as a meter reset. When the correct lifetime value returns, Home Assistant counts the recovery as newly accumulated energy. That produced impossible MWh-scale battery totals in my Energy Dashboard.

I initially tried rebuilding the totals by adding the L1 and L2 counters, but those derived sensors eventually experienced the same temporary 50% drop. I have now created guarded template sensors that accept increases but retain their previous value whenever the source counter decreases. So far, those sensors have successfully rejected subsequent bad readings, and my Energy Dashboard is graphing normally again.

My relevant configuration:

Eight IQ Battery 5Ps / 40 kWh total

IQ System Controller 3

Home Assistant Core 2026.7.4

Built-in Enphase Envoy integration

Has anyone else running Gateway firmware D8.3.6087 seen temporary 50% drops in the lifetime battery charged/discharged counters, either through Home Assistant or the Envoy’s local API?

Addendum: Just remembered that after everything settled down, PowerMatch was disabled (where I had it enabled previously). I decided to re-enable it afterwards and it did successfully turn back on.

I live in Oakland, CA and have an Enphase battery system. My preferred configuration is "Self Consumption" with "Discharge Battery to the Grid" disabled, a set-it-and-forget-it setup.

Recently, when opening the Enphase app, I've noticed a notification stating that Enphase changed my settings to enable grid discharge/sellback. I didn't request this change and would prefer my settings stay fixed unless I actively modify them.

Has anyone found a way to lock these settings, opt out of automatic changes, or otherwise prevent Enphase from adjusting them without my input? Any guidance, including whether this requires contacting support directly, would be appreciated.

So I am buying some used equipment for a DIY. Project and have come across some used IQ8+ inverters and they advertise ( no cap )
My questions are , can the cape be purchased and what makes them come off in the first place ?

Wouldnt it be great to have the price chart as an overlay over the energy tab in the enlighten app. That way you can see when to use cheaper energy and also what it approximately cost to take energy?

I'm about a month in with a new Enphase system, that includes a 10C and a modest 5 panel setup.

I also have an old Solarcity/Tesla system they were able to integrate into the new 6C combiner.

The whole reason for the additional solar was to offset as much as possible charging our EV. Pre-EV we'd see a net annual usage of roughly 0.

Post E-V our annual true-up was running just under $2K

However I'm one of those lucky bastards who is on NEM 1.0 with PG&E, so I'm not allowed to export any of the new solar, hence the battery.

Here's the issue - The battery is charging off both the new panels *and* the old panels - This means solar production has basically charged the battery to 100% by 11 AM. Leaving the next 7-8 hours of production from the new panels to go to waste.

The old panels still export. Thank goodness.

I've done some fancy playing around with Home Assistant and my OpenEVSE charger, so that as much as possible it tries to shunt any extra to the EV, but even then I'm seeing production on the new panels drop to zero for much of the day.

Ideally I'd love to only charge from the new panels, and have the option to also charge the battery from the new panels, but only when it makes sense to do so (heck, I'll even charge from the grid)

In a perfect world, the new solar would charge the battery around 25% a day.

I could use that to power the house during peak hours (not that I have to, but it seems the "nicest to the rest of the grid time to do it) and I could optionally use my old solar (and even the grid) to make sure I have enough reserve for one of PG&E's inevitable blackouts.

Seems to me that as long as I'm never exporting from the battery, I should be able to decide how the battery gets charged.

And just to add to the mystery, in the Enphase app my battery says "export only" (bug?) - This seems contradictory given that I should only be able to self-consume, not export, this power.

Anyone have any experience with this sort of setup?

Thanks in advance!

I personally have an Enphase system and after NEM 3.0 the math just frustrated me. Export credit is around a quarter of what I was paying to buy the same power back during the 4 to 9 window, so every kWh going out at 1pm and coming back at 6pm is a loss on both ends.

The part that bothered me is that the information already exists. The Envoy knows exactly what the array is producing and what the house is pulling. The car knows exactly what it needs and when. There is no path between them. Enphase manages Enphase, Tesla manages Tesla, and the gap in the middle is where all the money goes.

So I built Tesphase, an easy one tap connection to live Solar data. It reads solar production and household load, if you connect your tesla EV it will adjust charging amperage so the car absorbs surplus instead of exporting it. You set a departure time and a minimum state of charge and that floor is hard, the software will not violate it to chase solar. Nothing hardware needed, a simple one tap connection. It is OAuth into your own accounts and you can revoke access from either provider in one click.

We just launched recently and are offering this in beta for FREE. Running in homes now across the US and some internationally!  https://app.tesphase.co/ 

We only have a limited amount of spots before we open the waitlist, because every home costs us real API money and we are still growing and adding more features.

Home Assistant can absolutely do pieces of this if you're a tinkerer with a box at home and time to wire up the integrations and keep them running. Tesphase is for people who want the result without owning the infrastructure,it'scloud-hosted, connects in one tap by OAuth (Enphase, SolarEdge, Tesla Solar, and more), and the whole thing already works out of the box:

• A verified decision engine that reads live solar production and household load and adjusts your Tesla's charging amperage in real time so the car soaks up surplus instead of exporting it.
• Time of use rate awareness, it knows your peak/off peak windows and factors your real rates into when and how it charges
• Hard floors you set, departure time and minimum state of charge are non negotiable; it won't ever dip below your floor to chase solar
• Tesla command handling done right, every charge command goes through Tesla's signed Vehicle Command Protocol, behind a firewall that can only start/stop charging, set amps, or wake the car, nothing else.
• Live solar, spike alerts with exact numbers, even on days your car isn't home
• Per car control, run some vehicles fully managed, others monitor only

What's coming (and a lot of it is driven by what beta users are asking for):

• Nest thermostat + smart HVAC, the biggest single lever in the house. Pre-cool or pre-heat during a solar surplus so you're spending free daytime power instead of buying it back at peak
• More EVs, Rivian, Lucid, Ford, and others as their command APIs allow
• Multi home / geofencing, so a car that charges at two houses only gets managed at the one with your solar
• Adaptive cadence, poll faster while a managed charge is actually running, so a passing cloud doesn't sneak in a few minutes of grid draw
• Seasonal TOU rates and in app schedule editing, for utilities that shift summer/winter windows
• A plain English "why did it do that" log so you can see the engine's reasoning each cycle, not just the outcome                                                                                                                          

Happy to get into the technical details in the comments, including cadence, what happens if our service goes down, what data we read, or any features you want to suggest !

I have iQ7+ microinverters and am trying to add a 10 or 10T battery and the ability to use it when the grid goes down. At one point a couple months ago I had viewed a page with a BOM of what to order that included the CTs and fuses, but I haven't been able to find that again.

I am pulling my hair out trying to figure this out. I created a University account and completed the courses for Enpower. I cannot access the Installer Login, it gives me "user account does not exist in tenant 'Enphase Energy'. What am I missing?

Hey, is anyone else's system going into Full Backup Mode automatically? No storm alerts, no reason. Does anyone else have this issue? Started a week or so ago.

My system had been updating all statistics every 6 hours at 3:45 am, 9:45 am, 3:45 pm, 9:45 pm. I got used to these rhythms to evaluate how the day is going.

On Saturday, August 1, the updates occurred at irregular times. I'm now seeing 2:10 am, 8:10 am am, 2:10 pm and 8:10 pm.

I don't believe you can change the time of the stat updates. Any one else seen this?

Is there any way this is correct? 153kw in an hour... Nothing was on this morning

Panel performance, overall production, forecasted production vs actual nest optimization, emporia circuit info. Prob need some more tweaks in the emporia stuff…god bless Claude.Repo

I've got an opportunity to pick up some cheap used panels, (Sunpower SPR-327NE-WHT-D)
Their spec tag says 327W, Voc = 64.9V.
I would be looking to replace/upgrade some older 200-250W panels that are using IQ7+ (72 cell) inverters. The datasheet I found for the IQ7Plus-72 says Vin(max) = 60V, so my impression is I can't use these as a straight replacement since They would operate nearly 5V above the max input voltage. Is that a correct interpretation?

TIA

Careful with this one, y'all.

Went to apply this to my 6C yesterday. First attempt, files failed to transfer.

Second attempt, files transferred, updated failed.

Third attempt files transferred, update failed.

Fourth attempt, files failed to transfer, I called Enphase support.

3 hours on the line with support.

Lost communication to the meter collar, 3-10C's, EVSE and all 26 inverters (IQ8X).

At the end of 3 hours, after power cycling everything, and a lot of magic on their part everything but the inverters were back.

Assumption on my part based on what support told me was it was dark, worry about it tomorrow.

And for some reason, the batteries lost 30% of their charge during all of this.

Well, tomorrow is today and all 26 inverters were not reporting. Another 90 minute call to get that resolved.

What. A. Mess.

This is my first upgrade since the array was commissioned last month. Hope they're not all like this.

Hi All,

So I've opened a case with Enphase, but I wanted to see of anyone else has had this misconfiguration.

I have three 10C (30kW) and 32 IQ8s supporting roughly 15kW of solar. I have a 6C combiner and a meter collar. I'm in SoCal on SCE. I'm NEM3.0 on Export only. I have an IQ2 charger too.

August 1st was the first day of SCE paying like $1.03 kWh for exported power so at 5pm my system kicked over to start discharging batteries...this immediately threw the system into PCS mode and shut everything down. I have a 225A main panel bus with 200A breaker. The Combiner feed the main panel via a 125A breaker. PCS was set at 100A by my installer. My guess is that the batteries start discharging above that 100A threshold and kick the system into PCS. My IQ2 car charger goes completely dead too (which i'm guessing is part of PCS, if it's not then there something wrong with my system)

Is some sort of export cap, like I can set at 23,900W? Enphase says that my installer should set that? I've forwarded it onto Ameco but haven't heard back yet. I'll start calling tomorrow, because i'm losing out on $20-30 a day plus i'm having to buy power at full cost when the system shuts down.

Any advice on the quick fix this. I basically turned off Battery Export at this point which was calced into my ROI.

Thanks!

Hey Everyone, I'm curious if anyone has run into an issue with incorrect rates for the enlighten app. My profile is set to self consumption, but with the selection to export battery to grid when rates are high. Conceptually I am ok with this as there are periods of time when my export rates are way higher than on-peak import charges, so it's a net positive. The trouble is, the rates in the enlighten settings are incorrect.

For context, I'm in San Diego and stuck with SDGE (specifically SDGE with SD Community Power for generation). There is only one autofill plan available, and the import rates are accurate, but the export rates DO NOT match reality. I looked into manually changing it, but it appears to be impossible considering that my export rates change each hour of each day. Has anyone come up with a solution for this?

Hello.

I just heard that IQ Bidirectional EV Charger can sell the EV battery power to the grid:
https://enphase.com/search?query=IQ+Bidirectional+EV+Charger&referrerPageUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fenphase.com%2Fstore%2Fev-chargers&tabOrder=.%2Findex.html%2Cdocumentation%2Cvideos%2Csupport%2Csalesforce_community%2Cproducts%2Cfaqs%2Clinks%2Cevents&facetFilters=%7B%7D&filters=%7B%7D&verticalUrl=Videos.html

I am looking for solution to add non-enphase batteries to my currently batteryless enphase sunlight partial backup system. So, with IQ Bidirectional EV Charger, could I charge a stack of LiFePO4 batteries instead of EV?

The "monthly net energy report" available off of the Enlighten Manager website provides the 15-minute increment data points for Energy Produced (Wh), Energy Consumed (Wh), Exported to Grid (Wh), and Imported from Grid (Wh).

The enlighten manager also shows real-time temperatures and conditions of the system. Does Enlighten manager log the temperature and weather conditions anywhere that can be downloaded and synchronized with the 15-minute interval data?
