SETTING THE GRID PROFILE - MEXICO ®

Activate the System and Register the Envoy1. Log in to Enlighten (enlighten.enphaseenergy.com).

A Grid Profile is a collection of frequency and voltage settings that define operating parameters for Enphase Microinverters. Enphase configures the Envoy Communication Gateway with a factory-set grid profile. The microinverter references the Envoy grid profile to interoperate with the local electric utility. Microinverters will not export power until the Envoy is installed and detects all of the microinverters at the site. The grid profile must also be configured and propagated to the microinverters if the factory setting does not match the local grid profile.Use this guide to configure the grid profile if the Envoy factory setting does not match the grid profile for your location.

3. On the Activations form, enter the System, Owner, and Location information. Select Mexico as the Country location.

4. In the Envoy section, enter the Envoy serial number.5. Make sure you have filled in the required information.

Scroll down the Activations form and click Save.

CautionEnphase provides this Grid Profile configuration only as a suggested guideline for interoperation with the local electric utility grid. Check the voltage and frequency trip point requirements of your local electrical utility before making adjustments to the Grid Profile and confirm that the suggested parameters conform to local requirements.Nuisance tripping, production losses, and product damage can occur when the Grid Profile does not match local frequency and voltage requirements. The Enphase Limited Warranty does not cover nuisance tripping, production losses, or damage resulting from mismatch or from electric utility grid variance.Only an authorised installer, with the permission and following the requirements of the local electrical utility, should make Grid Profile adjustments.Final responsibility of the grid setting is the installer’s and Enphase assumes no liability for errors or non-compliance as a result of this process.

2. From the Installations In Progress widget on the Installer Dashboard, click Add a New System.

1. Connect a computer to the same network (same broadband router) as the Envoy and open an Internet browser.

2. In the browser address window, enter the IP address shown on the Envoy LCD window.

Log In to the Envoy Interface

Create the Grid Profile for your Region1. From the Envoy Administration menu, select Device Grid Configuration.

3. From the Country regulatory specification drop-down list, select Other LL SAM-60-120. SAM-60-120-1304 displays in the Grid Profile.

4. From the Profile Name list, select LL SAM-60-120-1304.

2. From the Select Grid Profiles section, click Manage Profiles.

1. Plug the Envoy into a dedicated AC outlet near the load center (panel where the solar circuits land).

2. Connect the Envoy to the Internet.3. Check that the Envoy LCD window displays +Web. The Envoy

software automatically updates within 15-20 minutes of powering on.

4. Check that the Envoy has detected all of the microinverters installed at the site. Do this by verifying that the Devices count on the LCD window matches the number of microinverters installed.

5. Verify that the power line communication signal Level is at least three bars.

6. Press and hold the Envoy menu button, then release when the LCD window displays Enable Communication Check.

Install the Envoy

3. From the Envoy home screen, click Administration.

4. Enter admin for username and admin for password, then select OK. The Envoy Administration page displays.

The Edit Profile page displays.

5. In the Profile name field of the Edit Profile page, enter a new name for the profile, such as Mexico SAM-60-120-1304.

7. Click Make Copy. This creates your grid profile, Mexico SAM-60-120-1304. 8. Click Save Profile.

6. Change the Over voltage limit (Slow) to 138.0 V and Under voltage limit (Slow) to 102.5 V. The other parameters remain unchanged.

Apply the Grid Profile to the MicroinvertersTo apply your custom Grid Profile, you must select your grid profile from the Envoy Device Grid Configuration menu. NOTE: A Profile Change Token is not required the first time an Envoy grid profile is modified. Any subsequent changes to the grid profile require additional steps. For information about generating a Profile Change Token, refer to the Envoy Communications Gateway Installation & User Manual.

Continue with System Activation. For details, refer to the Enlighten Help Center in Enlighten or to the Envoy Communications Gateway Installation & User Manual found on www.enphase.com/support.

3. From the Grid profile drop-down list, select the grid profile you created, Mexico SAM-60-120-1304, for example. The grid profile you created displays.

4. Scroll down to the Apply Grid Profile section.

5. Click Apply Grid Profile. The microinverter software updates automatically, and the grid profile propagates to the microinverters. A Grid Profile Incompatible alert may display but clears automatically when the update is complete.

2. In the Select Grid Profile section, select Other LL SAM-60-120 from the Profile Country regulatory specification drop-down list.

1. Go back to the Envoy Administration page and select Device Grid Configuration.
