The Enphase Ensemble System
With the Enphase Ensemble™ energy management technology, homeowners have power when the grid
goes down and save money when the grid is up. The system measures PV production, home energy
consumption, and energy storage. The system knows when it is optimal to charge or discharge battery
power so that energy is stored when it is abundant and used when scarce. Ensemble technology systems
include the following Enphase products:
1.
Enphase Enpower™ smart switch
connects the home to grid power, the Encharge storage
system, and solar PV. It provides microgrid interconnection device (MID) functionality by
automatically detecting and seamlessly transitioning the home energy system from grid power to
backup power in the event of a grid failure. It consolidates interconnection equipment into a single
enclosure and streamlines grid independent capabilities of PV and storage.
2.
Enphase Encharge™ storage system
is reliable, simple, and safe.
It provides backup capability
and installers can quickly design the right system size to meet the needs of both new and retrofit
solar customers.
3.
IQ™ combiner series
consolidates interconnection equipment and streamlines PV and storage
installations by providing a consistent, pre-wired solution for residential applications. Housed in
the combiner is an
Enphase IQ Envoy
™, a communication device that provides network access
to the PV array. The IQ Envoy collects production and performance data from the Ensemble
system over on-site AC power lines and transmits the data to Enlighten through an Internet or
cellular modem connection.
4.
Enphase
IQ™ Series microinverters.
The smart grid ready IQ Series microinverters convert
harvested solar power into usable energy.
5.
Enphase Enlighten
™ web-based monitoring and management software. Installers can use
Enlighten Manager to view detailed performance data, manage multiple PV systems, and
remotely resolve issues that might impact system performance. Find out more at
