Installation Instructions 

WARNING:

 Before installing the Enphase Micro-Inverter, read all 

instructions and cautionary markings in the user manual and on the 

Enphase Micro-Inverter and the photovoltaic array. 

WARNING:

 All electrical installations shall be done in accordance with 

all local electrical codes and the National Electrical Code (NEC), 
ANSI/NFPA 70. 

WARNING:

 Connecting the Enphase Micro-Inverter to the electrical 

utility grid must be done only after receiving prior approval from the 
utility company. 

WARNING: 

Only qualified personnel must connect the Enphase Micro-

Inverter to the electrical utility grid. 

WARNING:

 Risk of electric shock. Normally grounded conductors may 

be ungrounded and energized when a ground fault is indicated. 

Installation of the Enphase Micro-Inverter System involves the following key steps: 

1

 

Installing the AC branch circuit junction box 

2

 

Attaching the Enphase Micro-Inverters to the racking 

3

 

Connecting the Enphase Micro-Inverter wiring harnesses 

4

 

System Grounding 

5

 

Enphase Installation map and Connecting the PV modules 

NOTE:

 It is recommended that all Micro-Inverters be installed and all 

system inter-wiring connections completed prior to installing the PV 
modules. Please refer to the Quick Install Guide at the end of this 

document for a diagram of the Enphase Micro-Inverter System. Each 
step of these installation instructions is numerically referenced in the 

Quick Install Guide drawing. 

 

WARNING:

 DO NOT connect Enphase Micro-Inverters to the utility 

grid or energize the AC circuit(s) until after completing Step 5 of these 
installation instructions.
