How to Connect Enphase

Read Enphase solar, battery and EV charger systems. The connection only reads: it cannot change battery settings or start and stop chargers, which Enphase offers only to its grid-services partners.

Before you start

• You need the Manage IoT Connections right and an Enlighten account that can see the system.
• Enphase is set up by the platform first. Your organization sees it in the list only once the platform offers it. If it is not there, ask your platform administrator.

Connect it

1. Go to Settings › Smart Devices › Connections › Device Services and choose Add connection.
2. In Add a connection, choose Enphase (under Energy).
3. In Name this connection, enter the name people will see.
4. Choose Continue to Enphase. Enlighten opens in the same tab.
5. Sign in to Enlighten and approve access.
6. You come back to the Connections tab. It says Connected. Looking for devices…, then how many devices it found.

Result

Your systems appear after the first sync with production, consumption, battery and charger readings, and energy and battery history. Values are refreshed at most every 15 minutes, and less often when the platform's Enphase plan allows fewer requests.

When you remove it

Removing the connection here does not withdraw access at Enphase. Also remove the platform's access in Enlighten, so Enphase stops sharing the data.

If it doesn't work

• The vendor plan's allowance is used up for now. The connection resumes by itself.
• The vendor plan doesn't include this data. Some values are not part of the platform's Enphase plan.
• Access was not granted, so nothing was linked. You declined in Enlighten. The form opens again with your name filled in; choose Continue to Enphase again.
• The connection later says Needs a new sign-in: choose Sign in again, then Continue to Enphase. See How to Relink a Connection.
• See Fixing a Connection Problem.
