The Envoy-S requires a connection to the Internet for reporting to Enlighten. You can provide this connection
through an existing broadband router, other Wi-Fi access point at the installation site, or by using the
Enphase Mobile Connect cellular modem.

Method B: Enphase Mobile Connect (order CELLMODEM-01 separately)
•
Method C: Ethernet cable (not included, installer must provide). This method requires that you use
