Benefits of Enlighten

Plug-and-Play Installation

Enphase Energy's per-module monitoring technology is integrated into the Enphase Microinverter System which means that you do not need to purchase or install a bolt-on or stand-alone third-party monitoring tool. The Enphase Envoy (EMU) communications gateway plugs into any standard AC outlet and collects micro-inverter performance information over the existing power line. No additional wiring is required. By plugging the Ethernet cable of the Envoy into a broadband router, performance data is automatically transmitted to Enlighten using the site’s existing internet connection, further simplifying installation.
