In 2000 I set up a 5 mile wi-fi link to my off-grid home in the Caribbean
with a product I think was called Smartbridges. I doubt they are around
anymore. Regardless, I was absolutely floored when it worked. I might have
cried. I was streaming a Sling TV device in the middle of nowhere on my
first
I don't intend to run a grounded conductor (neutral) to the array location.
I should have been clearer about that. There will be no way to connect the
Envoy out there. That's mainly why I was looking for confirmation that it
will pick up microinverters over long wire distances. This saves me 600
I definitely considered this option. I would prefer to hardwire the envoy
in this case back at the house. I was pleased to hear another wrench
respond with a successful 350 ft distance. I will let you know how this
goes.

There is also a menu (I don't have the code handy now, but Fronius tech

individual operating windows - voltage and frequency trips and trip times.

Hi Jason - I don't have the answer to your question because we've mounted
the monitoring box out by the array for similar applications to what you
described. I would suggest that if you mount your envoy far from the array,
that at least you run a spare 1" PVC with some pull points out to the array
Jason,
We recently completed a ground-mount array ~350’ from the Envoy and all micros
are able to report.

Jay,
Not sure if this will help but you can see all the available country codes
and change them using the following method:
Access the codes menu by first having the inverter screen on the "home"
icon.
1. Press the 3rd button 5 times in a row
3. Enter code 73887.
4. press + or – to change grid
How far has anyone ever put an IQ Envoy from an array and successfully
monitored it?
I am planning a ground mount that is 300 feet from a home with 12/240V
service. The branch circuits will have an AC combiner panel on a rack at
the array with 2 parallel sets of 4/0 Al conductors back to the
11 matches
