You might look at Egauge to monitor everything and just let enphase do what
it does. Might be less expensive that way too.

Yes, both the Envoy-S and IQ Envoy use the same consumption metering CTs 
(CT-200-SPLIT).

Thanks Nick. I'm content with using the ones from Enphase. Are those for the 
envoy S the same as the ones for envoy iq?

Hi William,


Our metered Envoys in North America can only be used with the Enphase 200A 
consumption CTs (CT-200-SPLIT).  Many of the off-the-shelf CT options have an 
embedded burden resistor and output millivolts.  Our CTs output milliAmps and 
we have embedded the burden resistor on the Envoy board.  Unfortunately, you 
won't find an alternate CT.

I am fixin’ to install an Enphase system with the Envoy-S and the AC combiner 
box.  I wish to monitor consumption.  It appears to me that Enphase offers only 
one model of CT which may be a bit large for the space I have.  The panel is 
only 100 Amps and thus has smaller feeder conductor than a 200 A would.  Does 
anyone know if one can substitute other manufacturer’s CTs in an Enphase system?



As always, thanks for any input.
