K.1. You can share this report using email, text or airdrop. It contains details of each
provisioned device and the commissioned status of the system.
NOTE
! Before leaving the site, ensure all breakers feeding Encharge and PV system are
closed (if permitted by utility PTO).
L. Set battery mode to Full backup
L.1. After system is successfully commissioned, it is necessary to change battery mode to
full backup.
L.1.1. This allows the batteries to charge from the grid, bringing their state of
charge to 100%, calibrating system data in Enlighten.
L.1.2. Batteries must remain at 100% SOC for 2 hours to achieve calibration.
L.2. Battery mode can be changed to full backup either through the enlighten homeowner
app, or Enlighten manager:
L.2.1. If Homeowner already has access to Enlighten (Solar system already
existed on site), request that they change the battery mode in the
homeowner app. This can be viewed in under settings.
L2.1.1 If homeowner does not yet have access to Enlighten (new solar and
Encharge installation) the installer can change the battery mode setting in
enlighten manager. Navigate to the system in question. Select settings, and
scroll down to the battery usage section. Select Full Back Up from the drop
down list.
M. Encharge Firmware Upgrade
M.1. After commissioning, a Firmware upgrade of Encharge batteries will automatically be
triggered by ITK.
M.2. This process takes between 4-12 hours depending on the quantity of batteries.
M.3. Enphase recommends allowing this upgrade to occur overnight. The installer can
then return the following day for Functional testing.
N. Functional Testing:
N.1. Functionality testing should be completed to ensure grid up, grid down, and transition
states are behaving as expected.
N.2. Refer to the
Ensemble Commissioning: Functional Testing Tech Brief
for a
checklist of these steps.
