How can I connect my Enphase Gateway without an Ethernet cable?
If your Enphase Gateway has a good signal strength but using an Ethernet cable is not practical, you may need to use Power line Ethernet bridges or a wireless Ethernet bridge.
How to fix enphase Envoy microinverter count mismatch?
If the microinverter count on your Enphase Gateway doesn't match the number of installed units, verify the following: * Ensure the Gateway is plugged directly into a wall outlet, not a power strip or surge protector. * Relocate the Gateway as close as possible to the electrical service panel to maximize signal strength. * Unplug other devices sharing the outlet with the Gateway, or plug the Gateway into a circuit with fewer electronic appliances. * If the problem occurs during low light levels, try again during daylight hours, as the PV module voltage may be too low for the microinverter to power up.
What to do if Enphase Gateway displays 'Envoy Failure +Web or -Web'?
If the Enphase Gateway LCD screen displays 'Envoy Failure +Web or -Web', unplug the Gateway from the electrical outlet and then plug it back in.
What to do if my enphase Envoy Gateway displays fewer than three bars?
If your Enphase Gateway displays fewer than three bars, follow the same procedure as for other signal strength issues. Unfortunately, the manual extract doesn't provide specific steps, but generally, this involves optimizing the Gateway's location and minimizing interference.
What to do if my enphase Envoy has IP address issues?
If your Enphase Gateway is experiencing IP address issues, you can try the following steps: 1. Check the network connectivity to the router or DHCP server. 2. Make sure you're using a broadband router, not a switch or hub. 3. Use the Gateway's menu button to select 'Get New IP Address'. 4. Unplug all units in the chain (Modem, Router, and Gateway), then reapply power in that order.
What to do if enphase Envoy Gateway LCD screen displays '-Web'?
If the Enphase Gateway LCD screen displays '-Web', check the network connectivity to the router and allow a few minutes for the connection to establish.
Why does my enphase Envoy Gateway display zero bars?
If your Enphase Gateway displays zero bars, it could be due to a phase imbalance. Ask your electrician to measure the conductors and neutral line to verify that the phases are balanced.
What to do if using an Ethernet cable with my Enphase Gateway is impractical?
If the Enphase Gateway is in a location with good signal strength, but using an Ethernet cable is impractical, you may need to use power line communication bridges or a wireless Ethernet bridge.
What to do if my Enphase Gateway microinverter count is lower than expected?
If your Enphase Gateway displays a lower microinverter count than the number of units installed, ensure the Envoy is plugged directly into a wall outlet, not a power strip or surge protector. Try relocating your Envoy closer to the electrical service panel. Also, unplug any other devices sharing the outlet with the Envoy and, if the problem occurs during low light, try again during daylight hours.
What to do for IP address problems with my Enphase Gateway?
If you are experiencing IP address problems with your Enphase Gateway, check the network connectivity to the router or DHCP server. Make sure you are using a broadband router, not a switch or hub. You can also use the Envoy menu button to 'Get New IP Address' or unplug all units in the chain, applying power again in the following order: modem, router, and then Envoy.
