one thing that's cool with the new IQ system is that you have the option to not only monitor your production, but also your consumption. in order to do this you will need to run a CT to the lineside of your MSP, so even if you use a dedicated load center for Enphase equip, be prepared to run wire to the MSP if you want to use the consumption feature. also worth noting that while their isn't a neutral coming from the inverters, you will need a neutral in the load center for the envoy...
