Do encharge storage systems provide backup power?

Encharge storage systems are capable of providing backup power when an Enphase EnpowerTM smart switch is installed at the site. For installing Encharge with 3rd party PV inverter please refer to the planning guide document on Enphase Energy Storage System for third party PV invert-ers online on Enphase website.

What is included in the enchargetm storage system?

The EnchargeTM storage system includes the Enphase Encharge Battery(ies) with integrated Enphase IQTM Microinverters. The Enphase IQ EnvoyTM commu-nication gateway measures PV production and home energy consumption.

What is an encharge storage system?

The Encharge storage system senses when it is optimal to charge or discharge the battery so that energy is stored when it is abundant and used when scarce. Encharge storage systems are capable of providing backup power when an Enphase EnpowerTM smart switch is installed at the site.

How do I set up an ESS system?

There are a few different ways to set an ESS system up. A combination of these are possible as well: See below drawings to get an idea of all possibilities. The first drawing shows the wiring when a MultiPlus-II is used; and the second one shows how it is wired with a MultiPlus or Quattro.

How should encharge batteries be stored?

DANGER: Risk of fire. During use, when stored, or during transport, keep the Encharge Battery(ies) in an area that is well ventilated and protected from the elements, where the ambient temperature and humidity are within -15° C to 55° C (5° F to 131° F) and 5% to 100% RH, non-condensing, preferably out of direct sunlight.

How do I use ESS battery life?

Connect to AC when available, keep batteries charged: Use ESS Assistant and select the “Keep batteries charged” mode. • Not available in the ESS System yet, but it will be implemented. The ESS BatteryLife feature will make sure that the batteries are not unnecessarily cycled around a low SoC.
