3. Parts and tools required
In addition to the microinverters, PV modules, and racking, you will need the following:
Enphase equipment
• IQ Gateway: Required to monitor production. For installation information, refer to the
IQ Gateway Installation and Operations Manual
.
• Enphase Installer App: Download the Enphase Installer App, open it, and
log in to
your Enphase account. Use it later to scan the microinverter serial
numbers and connect to the IQ Gateway to track system installation
progress. To download, go to https://enphase.com/en-gb/installers/apps
or scan the QR code at right.
• Use a Legrand Phase Coupler (LPC-01) for a multi-phase system for phase coupling if IQ Relay is not
installed in the multi-phase system.
• Tie wraps or cable clips (ET-CLIP-100 works with both single-phase and multi-phase IQ Cable)
• IQ Sealing Cap (Q-SEAL-10): for any unused connectors on the IQ Cable.
• IQ Terminator (Q-TERM-R-10 for single-phase or Q-TERM-3P-10 for multi-phase): One for each AC
cable segment end; typically, two are needed per branch circuit.
• IQ Disconnect Tool (Q-DISC-10)
• IQ Field Wireable Connectors (male and female: single-phase; Q-CONN-R-10M and Q-CONN-R-
10F; multi-phase: Q-CONN-3P-10M and Q-CONN-3P-10F)
