Pre-installation Checks
Review the following pre-installation checks before you install the IQ Envoy.
IMPORTANT: Enphase IQ Envoy and IQ 6 and IQ 6+ Micros do not communicate with, and should not be
used with, previous generation Enphase Microinverters and Envoys. Always use IQ 6 and/or IQ6+
Microinverters with an IQ Envoy.
Plan the Power Connection
Plan to install the IQ Envoy in a NRTL certified, NEMA type 3R (or better) enclosure. Use an appropriately
rated enclosure if hard-wiring indoors.
Plan the Internet Connection
Additional requirements to use the Enlighten web-based monitoring and analysis software are:
• Internet connection for the IQ Envoy through a traditional router or modem or Enphase Mobile
Connect [Enphase model CELLMODEM-01 (3G) or CELLMODEM-03 (4G)]. Decide whether to
connect the IQ Envoy to the Internet using integrated Wi-Fi, an Enphase Mobile Connect modem,
or using a PLC bridge with Ethernet cables.
• One of the following Web browsers with cookies enabled: Chrome 44 or higher, Firefox 41 or
higher, Internet Explorer 11, Microsoft Edge for Windows, Safari 8 or higher.
Download the Installer Toolkit App
The Enphase Installer Toolkit is a mobile app for iOS and Android devices that allows
installers to configure the system while onsite, eliminating the need for a laptop and
improving installation efficiency.
• Download the Enphase Installer Toolkit mobile app and open it to log in to
your Enlighten account. With this app, you can connect to the Envoy to
track system installation progress. To download, go to
enphase.com/installer-toolkit or scan the QR code:
• Download the latest version of the software to your
mobile device. To do so, go to the Envoy Resources
screen in the Installer Toolkit Settings.
• To run the Installer Toolkit app, you need either of the following mobile
devices:
• An Android mobile device running Android version 5 (Lollipop) or
later, or
• An iOS device running iOS 8 or later.
