The Enphase Envoy Communications Gateway
The Envoy® Communications Gateway is an integral component of the Enphase® Microinverter System™. It
operates between the Enphase Microinverters and the Enphase Enlighten® web-based monitoring and
analysis software. The Envoy functions as a gateway and monitors the microinverters that are connected to
the PV modules. The Envoy collects energy and performance data from the microinverters over on-site AC
power lines. It then forwards that data to Enlighten, via the Internet, for statistical reporting.
The three key elements of an Enphase system are the:
 Enphase Microinverter
 Enphase Envoy Communications Gateway
 Enphase Enlighten web-based monitoring and analysis software
This integrated system maximizes energy harvest, increases system reliability, and simplifies design,
installation and management. The following diagram shows the Envoy in the system.
