Hi All, I have a system where the solar panels (with Enphase IQ8) are on a detached garage and the IQ gateway is in the house. The gateway is in the house so that it can gather consumption data, and there is an internet connection there. There are other loads in the garage, so it is impossible to get a production CT to the gateway that will register only the solar production. When I go through the commissioning in the installer toolkit, I can verify that the consumption CT's are installed and working properly. I've been having a tough time getting consumption and production data to display correctly in Enlighten because the production meter is not enabled.
After many calls to tech support we finally have it set up that the production meter is enabled, but Enlighten is displaying the measurements from the microinverters. Then when the solar is backfeeding, the CT's register a negative value (as it should) and flags an error message. I have finally been able to get Enphase to just make that message go away. The last piece of the puzzle, which I do not know yet is: Does anyone know whether the consumption data will properly take into account the production data from the microinverters, or will it try to use the production data from the production CT which is now enabled, even though Enlighten displays the microinverter production data. I hope that all made sense. I am surprised that this is such an issue with Enlighten, so was just wondering if others have had better experiences when there is consumption CT's but no production CT's.
