Enphase EnergyReviews of enphase.com

It has been 18 months since the install. The power system is still not getting credit from SCE. It took 14 months to pass inspection and the grid compensation application has been rejected by SCE 3 times. The breaker box had to be relocated to pass code. Since then, very little energy from the cells actually feeds the house power, all goes to SCE without compensation. It takes a long time to get a response and I don't seem to get the same person twice. No one can answer my concern about not getting power to the house. Others in the neighborhood had solar installed by other companies after my install. They pay nearly nothing for electricity. My SCE bills have gone up due to rate changes. Don't buy Enphase.

This company is a scam they all are from them all the way down to the contractors they work with they will order supplies for 3 houses have them dropped at your house and use for other jobs and charge you for all of it and don't believe that you will save money I'm hardly home and my bill is 3 times higher than I had before solor 650 plus 293 for the horrible job they did the Roofers destroyed my roof I spent thousands on repairs and still working on it had to replace top floor cause the water was coming in they tell you that you would pay less so you can sign and that's when they do what they do I have everything if anyone wants to see I'm in the works of trying to get them removed enphase!!!!! They don't care about you

Der Ertrag der Anlage ist super deswegen ja auch die Sterne. Negativ ist das man keine Meldung analog oder digital abgreifen kann das der Speicher voll ist bzw das eingespeist wird. Bei 0,08€ Vergütungen will man den Strom verbrauchen und das wo Smart Home fast schon Harz IV Standard ist!

Hasn't been working since Aug correctly. CALL, Email, text and nothing. Still paying high electricity bill and a solar payment.

Had issue with a micro inverter, my system is 1 year old. Get a replacment is very challenging with this company. I will recommend explore another alternatives.

Update 11/28/22: Enphase is working with me on the issue, and trying to determine if it's the inverters or the solar panels. It looks like they will fix it. My solar contractor says they are more responsive to customer inquiries than contractor ones. 9/13/22: I have 2 inverters that have degraded about 30% from their original production, compared to all my other 31 inverters. Enphase says this is not covered under warranty, but that's not how read it.

Il est certes possible d'accéder a une page web en se connectant directement (sans passer par internet = le serveur de Enphase) au "gateway". Mais cette page web locale fournie TRES TRES peu d'information. La puissance produite par les panneau n'est même pas dispo sur cette page web. D'une manière plus générale, Enphase ne permet pas d'accéder aux informations localement (via le protocole MQTT par exemple).

Another reviewer from the UK didn't seem to understand that Enphase are a manufacturer, not an installer. They make a variety of devices including microinverters, combiner boxes, and Envoy communications devices that monitor all microinverters (either at array level or, if agreed with the supplier, right down to individual panel performance). Our system was installed at our home in Ramsgate, Kent, in May 2014. It has performed flawlessly and much better than expected. It produces between 4.7 and 4.9 MWHr. of electricity per year in a system of 16 M215 microinverters connected to our 16 Solarworld SW250 panels. As is commonly the case with microinverters, that's about 25% better than is generally obtained when a bulk inverter is used. In our case, there's been no degradation at all over that whole period. There are lots of reasons why it is much better to have AC current running from a panel array to the consumer unit (fuse box) rather than up to 1500 volts of DC current running to a bulk inverter, especially if that inverter is located in an attic or within a domestic living space or garage. Bulk inverters don't last as long as microinverters, and Lithium batteries, even the latest models, not only last only for a part of the lifetime of a solar panel system but also can catch fire or even explode. However, the 2014-era Envoys and microinverters are no longer made, and I cannot now add battery storage which would make it possible for me to far more closely match that output with the times when power isn't being produced but is needed, or vice versa. Even if I could find a battery to use with that system, if I am not mistaken, that would breach the conditions of my Feed-in-Tariff (FIT) contract. Furthermore, later models of the Envoy communications device, and the new microinverters that are compatible with them, apparently are unsurprisingly incompatible with my 2014-era system. I'm less impressed by their own batteries, but Enphase microinverters will work with any battery system that is designed to be AC coupled. A word or warning: Envoy communications devices are incredibly capable, and capable of controlling up to a total of 600 panels, in multiple arrays, but if you want panel-level monitoring and/or consumption monitoring as well as production monitoring, you will need to get that promised in writing from your installer. Many installers don't bother with that and if not enabled at the time of their commissioning the system you will then be left with array-level monitoring of only production through the web-based Enphase Enlighten portal. Believe me, monitoring individual panels is incredibly useful, and the Envoy system is also monitored by Enphase in far-away California as well as by your installer. You as system owner can add or remove access to that data for others, too. If your installer goes out of business, I understand that Enphase will work with you to get another local firm to take up the slack. It would be well to ensure that the insurers of your system provide protection against any charges for that. In our case, I didn't read the small print with sufficient care, and what I thought was an accredited insurance provider who provided cover for the system for 25 years was in fact located in Gibraltar, not England, and when it went bust, my cover ceased and despite promises by my vendor, the insurers were never replaced. Purchasers of solar systems in England should also make sure that their installers and/or insurers are not based in Scotland (or vice versa): they are different legal systems and jurisdictions. I'd like to add batteries and higher-powered additional panels, but rather than breach my FIT contract, I'll just add a second system, parallel with the first and located on an outbuilding rooftop, to produce sufficient additional power -- and storage -- to provide me with ALL my remaining needs. Any batteries will be kept in a ventilated, outdoor fireproof metal cabinet. One last point. When our Enphase-based system was installed, the Enlighten system provided an ability to compare its output, orientation, number of panels, and installer, with other Enphase-based systems in the UK. Some were anonymous, others had the name of the customer, at the customer's choice. It was reassuring to see how many Enphase=based systems there were! That was brilliant. But it wasn't long before EU data protection and privacy restrictions put a stop to that. My own hope is that this will return following the repeal of some of the EU data protection legislation, because I can assure you that it provides a great way for anyone to see how much orientation, individual supplier/installers, location and numbers of panels can make a real difference. No other manufacturer that I know of has offered a service like that.
