Envoy-S provides energy usage insights, remote update capabilities and
load management. Designed to work with all Enphase microinverters,
Envoy-S features consumption monitoring, revenue-grade metering,
integrated Wi-Fi and flexible networking options and optional AT&T
cellular connectivity via AT&T’s Internet of Things (IoT) technology.
“As a key part of our intelligent home energy solution, Envoy-S provides
consumption insights that allow consumers to manage their energy use
more efficiently,” said Stefan Zschiegner, vice president of product
management for Enphase Energy. ”In fact, the Enphase Energy Management
System is enabling new partnerships that result in an advanced ecosystem
for the clean energy economy.“
"The number of distributed solar installations continues to grow
exponentially in the wake of falling costs," said MJ Shiao, director of
solar research at GTM Research. "By building an infrastructure that
provides sophisticated interaction with these grid edge assets, the
solar industry can deliver significant additional value to energy
consumers and utilities alike."
Enphase is also introducing the AC Combiner Box, the most effective way
to maximize the features and benefits of the revenue-grade metered
Envoy-S. The device helps cut solar installation time by as much as 50
percent, and reduces interconnection and communications equipment costs
by as much as 20 percent. The AC Combiner Box is an outdoor-ready
enclosure built to withstand exterior weather conditions.
In addition, Enphase offers Enphase Mobile Connect™, a cellular modem
with service provided by AT&T IoT technology that delivers consistent
and independent Internet connectivity. To ease the process of
installation, Mobile Connect is integrated into the Envoy-S through the
AC Combiner Box. Installers can now ensure reliable Internet
connectivity is consistent and reliable independent of the Internet
setup in the home.
To further improve operational efficiency, Enphase offers the Installer
Toolkit mobile app for smart phones or tablets. Using the toolkit,
installers can quickly and easily configure an Enphase system,
commission Envoy-S and confirm a successful solar installation.
Enphase will be showcasing the Envoy-S and all the components of the
Enphase Energy Management System at Solar
Power International 2015 (Booth 3 – Grand Plaza), which takes place
September 15-17 at the Anaheim Convention Center. Training sessions will
be offered at SPI. In addition, Enphase is also taking its operational
efficiency roadshow to the solar installer community in more than 30
locations throughout the United States.
The Enphase Envoy-S will be available in North America starting in Q4
2015. For more information on the Envoy-S, the AC Combiner Box and the
Enphase Energy Management System, click
