Installing the 

Enphase Envoy-S Metered

To install the Enphase

®

 Envoy-S Standard, read and follow all warnings and instructions in this Guide and in the Enphase

®

 Envoy-S  

Installation and Operation Manual at: 

http://www.enphase.com/support

. Safety warnings are listed on the back of this guide.

PREPARATION

A )  Download the Enphase Installer Toolkit mobile app and 

open it to log in to your Enlighten account. With this app, 

you can connect to the Envoy-S to track system installation 

progress. To download, go to 

http://enphase.com/toolkit

 or 

scan the QR code at right.

B )  Check the box for the following items:

• 

Enphase Envoy-S Metered

• 

Production metering current transformer (CT)

• 

Length of DIN rail for mounting

• 

Ferrite bead to attach to your Ethernet Cable, if used

C )  You must install the Envoy-S Metered in a non-metallic, NRTL Certified 

NEMA type 3R (or better) enclosure with conduit attachment. Do not 

drill holes on the top of the enclosure or anywhere that allows moisture 

ingress.

D )  Make sure you have the following optional items, if needed:

• 

Two (2) consumption metering split-core CTs (order CT-200-SPLIT) 

• 

Enphase Mobile Connect modem (order CELLMODEM-01)

• 

Ethernet over power line communication (PLC) bridge with Ethernet 

cables (order EPLC-01)

• 

Ethernet cable (802.3, Cat5E or Cat6, unshielded). Do not use shielded 

twisted pair (STP) cable.

E )  Decide how to connect the Envoy-S to the Internet: Wi-Fi, an Enphase 

Mobile Connect modem, or Ethernet.

F )  Install the PV modules and microinverters as directed by the installation 

manuals.

G )  Create a paper installation map to record microinverter serial numbers 

and positions in the array. 

• 

Peel the removable serial number label from each microinverter and 

affix it to the respective location on the paper installation map. 

• 

Peel the removable label from the bottom of the Envoy-S and affix it to 

the paper installation map.

• 

Always keep a copy of the installation map for your records and to 

upload to Enlighten later.

Note

If needed, you can find an installation map at the back of any
