Connecting the Enphase 3.5kWh IQ Battery Encharge 3T to your solar panels requires several steps and careful attention to electrical safety. It's crucial to hire a qualified electrician to handle the installation process to ensure proper connection and avoid potential hazards.

Here's a general overview of the connection process:

Gather the necessary equipment: Ensure you have the appropriate wiring, connectors, fuses, and Enphase Envoy S metered gateway.

Disconnect the solar panel strings: Before connecting the Encharge battery, disconnect the solar panel strings from the Envoy S metered gateway. This prevents any power from flowing to the battery.

Locate the Enphase IQ Gateway: The IQ Gateway is the main communication hub for the Encharge battery and solar panels. It's typically installed near the Envoy S metered gateway.

Connect the Enphase IQ Gateway to the battery: Using the provided cables and connectors, connect the Enphase IQ Gateway to the Encharge battery. These connections establish the communication and data exchange between the battery and the gateway.

Connect the Encharge battery to the Envoy S metered gateway: Again, using the appropriate cables and connectors, connect the Encharge battery to the Envoy S metered gateway. This establishes the power connection between the battery and the home's electrical system.

Re-connect the solar panel strings: Once the Encharge battery is connected, reconnect the solar panel strings to the Envoy S metered gateway. This allows the solar panels to generate power and send it to the Encharge battery for storage.

Commission the Encharge battery: Use the Enphase app or web interface to commission the Encharge battery. This involves setting up the battery settings, connecting to the local energy grid, and enabling backup power if desired.

Testing and verification: Before putting the system into operation, test the connections, verify the power flows, and ensure the Encharge battery is functioning properly. A qualified electrician should perform these checks.

Remember, connecting the Enphase 3.5kWh IQ Battery Encharge 3T to your solar panels is an electrical installation that should only be handled by a qualified electrician. Improper connections can lead to power hazards and damage to equipment. Consult a licensed electrician for a safe and reliable installation.
