enphase AC Battery Homeowner's Manual

HOMEOWNER’S GUIDE

The Enphase AC Battery

The Enphase Storage System includes the Enphase AC Battery™ and uses the Enphase Envoy-S
Metered™ to measure PV production, home energy consumption, and energy storage. The system
knows when it is optimal to charge or discharge battery power so that energy is stored when it is
abundant and used when scarce.

Access Your System Online

You can view your PV solar production, your electricity consumption, and your energy storage using

Enphase MyEnlighten™. Once your installer creates a prole with your email address, Enphase will

email you with instructions on setting up your MyEnlighten account. Read the Enlighten terms of
service at https://enphase.com/en-us/legal/terms-of-service.

Safety warnings are listed on the back of this guide.

1) Only qualied electricians shall install, troubleshoot, or replace the AC Battery.

2) The AC Battery contains no user serviceable parts. Do not open the AC Battery.

WHERE TO PLACE THE BATTERY

A professional solar installer will mount the AC Battery on the wall and hardwire the unit into your electrical system. You
and your solar installer should keep the following things in mind when choosing a location to install your AC Battery(ies).

•

Choose an easily accessible, well-ventilated, and unoccupied indoor location, such as a garage. This location must
be out of direct sunlight, and ambient temperature must stay between -20° C to 45° C (-4° F to 113° F).

•

The AC Battery is not waterproof, so do not allow liquids to come into contact with the AC Battery. Choose a dry

location unlikely to be affected by rain, humidity, or ooding. Make sure that the area stays within the 5% to 95%

relative humidity, non-condensing range.

•

Ensure that the wall can sustain the weight of the AC Battery and mounting bracket (28kg or 60 lbs per battery).

•

Do not install the AC Battery in a way that will block the vents. The AC Battery must be installed at least 300mm (one
foot) above the ground and at least 300mm (one foot) below the ceiling.

•

Place the AC Battery away from moving objects such as cabinet doors, garage doors, or motor vehicles.

•

Ensure that there are no pipes or electrical wires where your installer plans to drill.

SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS

There are a few safety considerations to keep in mind once the battery is installed. The AC Battery is not designed
to support additional weight, so never rest anything on top of the AC Battery. Even light objects such as drinks could
condense and drip liquids onto the battery. Other objects could block the vents and cause overheating. Do not store

ammable, sparking, or explosive objects near the AC Battery, and make sure there is a working smoke detector in the

room. Keep moving objects that could fall onto or collide with the unit away from the AC Battery.

INTERNET CONNECTIVITY

The Enphase AC Battery is intended to operate with an internet connection. Maintaining an internet connection is

important, not only for updating software/rmware, but also for measuring the health of the battery. Failure to maintain

an internet connection may have an impact on the warranty. See enphase.com/warranty for full terms and services.

LED OPERATION

The AC Battery unit contains no user serviceable parts, so always contact your solar professional for assistance in
troubleshooting and maintaining your Enphase system. Information about the LED is provided as a reference.
