Enphase Energy Simplifies Energy Monitoring for Solar Installers
September 25 2019 - 8:00AM
Enphase Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ:ENPH), a global energy technology
company and the world’s leading supplier of solar microinverters,
today announced that the Enphase Home Energy Solution with IQ™
makes solar simple to design, install and manage for small and
midsized solar installation companies. Installers can now also
leverage a more efficient way to help ensure that Enphase-based
solar systems are always connected by using the Enphase IQ Combiner
3C™, which includes an integrated Enphase CELLMODEM-M1. The IQ
Combiner 3C is designed to provide uninterrupted connectivity to
the Enphase Enlighten™ monitoring and service platform and
streamlines PV (photovoltaic) solar and storage installations with
a consistent, pre-wired solution for residential applications by
consolidating all critical solar interconnection equipment into a
single enclosure.
With the integration of the LTE-M-based cell modem, IQ Combiner
3C customers can enjoy the peace of mind that their Enphase-based
systems are capable of being always connected to service and system
performance data in the cloud. The IQ Combiner 3C also features an
integrated Enphase IQ Envoy™, with built-in Wi-Fi and Ethernet
connectivity options, and reduces the number of enclosures required
for solar installations. Homeowners will benefit from the IQ
Combiner 3C’s revenue-grade production and optional consumption
metering in a single, visually attractive enclosure. Solar
installation professionals will enjoy the flexibility of up to four
2-pole input circuits and an Eaton BR series busbar assembly, as
well as the confidence that they can provide customer service and
support remotely through the always-on data connection.
“As a high-volume solar installation company, the Enphase IQ
system, including the Combiner 3C, makes us more efficient because
it helps reduce installation times and lowers the number of
components our installation teams have to manage,” said Josh
Aldrich, president at Del Sol Energy. “In addition, the integrated
cell modem provides a reliable data connection to ensure that we
have a seamless way to manage and support our growing fleet of
solar systems, allowing us to provide great service at a faster
pace.”
“The Enphase IQ Combiner 3C is a great addition to what we
believe is the best home energy solution on the market,” said Derek
Fannin, director of procurement at Nexus Energy. “The new Combiner
3C is visually unobtrusive and adds built-in IoT communications,
which helps to provide better service to our customers and save
significant time and money by eliminating the need for sending
technicians into the field.”
“Most of our customers are very interested in knowing about the
performance of their solar systems, and the Combiner 3C ensures
that their systems are always connected to the Enphase Enlighten
platform,” said Don Zimmerman, president and chief executive
officer at Alder Energy Systems. “With the integrated cellular
modem, the Combiner 3C ensures that our homeowners never have to
worry about reconnecting their systems after they replace or update
a home Wi-Fi access point or change their Wi-Fi password, which is
very convenient. This is another way in which Enphase helps us be
more efficient in bringing solar to the communities we serve.”
“The new IQ Combiner is a result of the importance we place on
listening to our customers, the discipline of continuous
improvement, and a dedication to improving customer service in
everything we do,” said Jeff McNeil, chief operating officer at
Enphase Energy. "As part of a family of advanced Internet of Things
devices for home energy management, the IQ Combiner 3C ensures that
Enphase systems are always-connected, so that homeowners have the
best possible experience, and solar installation companies can
build scalable solar services for their customers.”
The IQ Combiner 3C is an NRTL-certified NEMA type 3R
outdoor-ready enclosure, built to withstand exterior weather
conditions, and features side and rear conduit entry, giving solar
contractors more options on the job site and further reducing solar
installation time. The device is a UL 1741 listed assembly and
includes a 5-year equipment limited warranty and a 5-year Enphase
Mobile Connect data plan. The Enphase IQ Combiner 3C is
pre-configured for data service and becomes activated when the
Envoy communications gateway is activated. The cellular data option
is available in regions where there is adequate (non-roaming)
cellular service in the installation area, including the U.S.,
Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The
Mobile Connect data plan is available for systems of more than 60
microinverters for an additional charge.
