Enphase EN-CT-200-SPLIT

I have a solar array and wasn't setup to see my consumption. Called my solar provider and they were going to charge $250 for installation and have a long wait for a tech. I got a 3rd party work release form and ended up doing it myself. I don't have access to the enphase installer app, so I called them and played dumb and they were able to activate them remotely. Saved alot of money, there's plenty of YouTube videos showing how to hook them up.

They started transmitting data almost immediately. Make sure you use a competent installer. First guy couldn't get them arranged so the cover would go back on and they didn't have them oriented correctly. Had problems with the app for a week before they came out and installed everything correctly. But the product works splendidly.

Make sure you buy two of these. Install is very simple and no reason to hire an electrician to do it unless you just aren't comfortable messing with your panel.

bulky and why the flimsy plastic clip. I had to tape one after breaking the clip. I was also irked that the 100A units that come with the Enphase Gateway were not available. Sure, there's more high Amp solar farms using the Enphase IQ systems than DIY home-cabin users like me but why the 100A with the gateway and only 200A CT on the retail market. Enphase wiring for L1 + L2 on the production side is only obvious in hindsight. you can use just one CT for production side by wiring to L1 and L2 gateway production (top row, not one on top and one on bottom like the consumer side). The installer app will tell you if the wires are flipped (directional), the hindsight is power coming from a bunch of IQ micro-inverters is symmetric on L1 and L2. And why did the Gateway come with only two CT in the first place...can't assume that the consumer loads are symmetric on L1/L2. Overall very happy with Enphase phone support, slow, will need a call back but they get in there and help fix it once you got them. AVOID the online chat, pretty sure that's a bot with sales drive turned up to 11.

I researched these and verified that these are, indeed, the same consumption monitors that the solar company I used in South Carolina would install if I paid them to do so. There's lots of videos online to help you through the installation because it really is not that difficult. Nice to see where your electricity is going. Good addition if you have solar panels.
