devices and services such as the Environ Smart Thermostat. This capability
enables Enphase Systems to not only generate clean energy, but also to
monitor and control energy usage.
Through Enlighten, you can manage your Environ Smart Thermostat from
anywhere through the Enphase Enlighten web-based portal. Enlighten
enables you to view and edit your programs and settings. It provides:
x
ease of use of setting configurations and setting up 7-day programs
through a large web browser window rather than on the wall-mounted
unit.
x
the ability to access these settings online from any browser, as well as
smartphones.
x
visibility to solar production information and HVAC controls side-by-side
on the same portal.
The
Enphase Envoy
is an integral component of the Enphase Energy
Microinverter system. It operates between the Enphase Environ,
microinverters, and the Enphase Enlighten web-based monitoring and
analysis system. The Envoy functions as a gateway and monitors the
microinverters that are connected to the photovoltaic modules.
The
Enphase Microinverter
is a fully integrated device that converts the DC
output of a single solar module into grid-compliant AC power. In addition to
performing the DC to AC conversion, it maximizes the modules' energy
production by using a sophisticated Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT)
algorithm.
How the Environ Smart Thermostat Works with the Enphase System
The Environ programmable communicating thermostat interfaces to the
Enphase Envoy communications gateway using a ZigBee wireless interface.
This interface is designed to be plug and play.
Once mated, the Environ can be reached and programmed through the
Enlighten website from virtually any location.
