What's fixed?
Rectification of array builder issue where the position of microinverters was jumping when the serial numbers were scanned
Few issues were observed during the commissioning process within the Enphase Installer App while the user was adding Microinverters to the Array Builder. These issues were impacting the commissioning experience and time.
Microinverters, which were being scanned on to respective panels within the Array Builder, were seen to be jumping positions and being assigned to panels in which it was not meant to be. Moreover, if a Microinverter was being scanned twice, the Microinverter was getting assigned at both the places leading to further confusion. To rectify these pending issues, the user was required to unassign the Microinverter from the panels and then assign it back again to the correct panel. All of this resulted in increase of the commissioning time.
As part of the fix, we made sure that an already assigned Microinverter is not being assigned to another panel if it is being scanned twice. Instead, we are displaying the appropriate message to the user that the concerned Microinverter has already been assigned to another panel. This fix will also ensure the problem of Microinverters jumping from one panel to another and getting assigned is also fixed automatically.

-
Meter CT Measurements information addition for Negative Consumption
There were issues reported that the issues related to Meter CT measurements are confusing in nature and need to be more specific.
Analysis of this issue provided us the insight that most of these issues were caused due to negative readings observed for Production/ Consumption measurements. For installers to be better informed, we have included an info icon whenever a Meter issue related to CT Measurements is observed. Clicking on that info icon will show accurate message to the user regarding the probable reason of occurrence of the issue.
-
Diagnostic Mode Tasks for Cell Modem Sites from Enphase Installer Portal
Enabling diagnostic mode remotely for a cellular site, enable it to behave as if it is on a broadband site. This will allow verification of system production much quicker than is done today, where one needs to wait for 6 hours at least for verification of system production for cellular sites.
In the Gateway Page, for cellular sites, installer can select Diagnostic Duration in the report settings after selecting Low Bandwidth. This will enable installers to verify system production in a quicker manner by giving them the flexibility to choose the time interval in which they wish the data to be reported to Enphase Cloud.

Auto-Zoom functionality in Array Builder
Users reported that the auto-zoom functionality in Array Builder can increase the turnaround time, especially when creating large arrays. It hinders the seamlessness at the time of array creation.
To resolve the issue, we have introduced a feature in Array Builder, which will enable users to disable the Auto-Zoom functionality, if they wish to.

A new and more detailed Training Dashboard has been released for our installer partners to track the training status for each course taken through Enphase University at both the user and company levels.
-
Installers will be marked as Enphase certified once they have completed both the installation certification process and design certification training (design certification is assessed at a user level rather than at the company level).
-
Installer admins will now be able to see user and company status for all associated branches/divisions/subsidiaries.

Reverse CT Polarity
Installers will now be able to swap CT polarity directly from the production/consumption summary page.
-
For a single-phase system, an installer can easily reverse polarity immediately, directly from within the page.
-
For a multi-phase system, a commercial installer will have to select the specific lines/levels (L1, L2, L3) for which they want to reverse the polarity.
-
After selecting the specific lines, polarity will be reversed for those lines (and those lines only).
-
A message will now be shown on the production/consumption summary page if the polarity has been reversed by an authorized user.
What’s been fixed?
Certification status after the completion of the design course now works properly
In previous versions, even after companies/users completed our Enphase design review course material, the certification flag was not enabled, which prevented Installers from starting the commissioning process. This is now fixed so that the certification flag is enabled correctly.
Entire array deletion from array builder
There was previously an issue reported for Array Builder, where the user was not able to delete the entire array all at once. Only deletion of a single panel within the array was working. As part of this update, this issue has been resolved. Users will now be able to delete the entire array by simply clicking on the delete button after selecting the entire array.
Portuguese translations on the registration page
Some of the information on the Portuguese version of our installer registration pages was not translated accurately in previous releases. As part of this release, we have updated and corrected these mistranslations.
Updating emails with product name changes
Previously, emails sent from the Enphase Cloud to end-users included references to the term Enlighten. These have all been changed to the new name, Enphase Installer Portal.
Sender details, along with the subject line and content in all emails have been updated in accordance with the new naming system.
What's new?
We’re always trying to improve your experience. Here are the features we introduced to make installation and monitoring gets faster, easier, and better.
Authorized subcontractor
Installers will be able to add an authorized subcontractor who will have access to sites created by the installer right from stage 1.
- Installers will have access to the Authorized subcontractor page from under the Account section in Enphase® Installer Portal (Enlighten Manager)
- Installers will have to add user email ID from the subcontractor company to add the company as an authorized subcontractor
- After an authorized subcontractor is added the installer can then assign them sites from the Activation page
- Installers will have the ability to enable/ disable an authorized subcontractor, but this will not remove the subcontractor’s access to a particular site. Installers must remove the access from the Activation page, if required
- An authorized subcontractor will not be able to change the access settings for a site
- An authorized subcontractor will be able to see the list of sites which it has access to on the activation page
- An authorized subcontractor will be able to see the list of sites which it has access to on the systems page right from stage 1 of commissioning
- An authorized subcontractor shall be able to edit/ update the site they have access to in the activation page
- Current behavior of sending homeowner consent email from stage 4 and 5 will be followed for any authorized subcontractor that is given access to the site
- Same authorized subcontractor cannot be added twice by an Installer
- If an authorized subcontractor is selected in given access to a site and the same access is given as a third part company at a time, authorized subcontractor access should be considered as priority
- If an authorized subcontractor is given access to a site, when displaying company name in system access page show ‘Authorized subcontractor’ in the bracket after the company name
Training dashboard enhancements
Training dashboard (Enphase® Installer Portal ((Enlighten Manager)) only) will be accessible for Installers in the US and LATM locations only.
Installers will be blocked on commissioning IQ8 systems based on the training status of below learning paths. Each learning path contains various courses that the user needs to complete to get certified in that learning path:
Either:
-
IQ8 Installer certification training
Or:
-
IQ Combiner 4 , and
-
IQ8 System and Technology, and
-
IQ system controller 2
Company performance scorecard for all installers
Company performance scorecard was earlier accessible to only EIN (Enphase Installer Network) members. Going forward all Installer Admins will be able to see the company performance dashboard in their Enphase® Installer Portal (Enlighten Manager) dashboard.
Mandatory T&C to add new users for privacy purpose
To add a new user, an Installer shall have to tick the check box with the following text:
"Only the system owner may provide access to their site. Without written approval from the system owner, installers may not provide access to other companies and may not provide access to users outside of their company. I have read and agree to Enphase’s Terms of Service and have read Enphase’s Privacy Policy. I understand that violation of these conditions may result in suspension or termination of my Enlighten (Enphase® Installer Platform) account."
New Products for Labor Claim Process
As part of the Labor Claim Process, in accordance with a new requirement, 2 new SKUs of IQ™ Gateway (IQ Envoy) are being supported. These are as follows:
-
XA-ENV-PCBA-3-Part Number-800-00555-r03 (IQ™ Gateway (IQ Envoy))
-
ENV-IQ-AM1-240-Part Number-800-00555-r03 (IQ™ Gateway (IQ Envoy))
This new requirement is being supported in this release. Due to this change, once RMA is being raised, Labor Reimbursement Process will also be supported for the above-mentioned SKUs.
Load Control Scheduled Mode (24 Hour Enhancements)
Keeping up with incremental feature enhancements in Load Control with every release, in this release, we have introduced the ability to support 24-hour window for Support Modes in Load Control. Apart from the obvious restrictions that start time should be earlier than end time, and the existing restriction that end time should be at least 15 minutes greater than the start time, all other restrictions have been done away with. As stated earlier, 24-hour selection will be permitted in case of Scheduled Mode within Load Control.
Before After
NMI Field Check in Australia
As part of this release, NMI Field Check performed earlier for only the state of South Australia is being expanded to include all the states in the Australian Region. Additionally, few validations around the NMI field are being included in this release in case the user enters any invalid input/ junk value.
-
For residential systems, the checksum should be numeric, and the length should be 10 or 11 characters. In case of violation, appropriate error message will be shown to the user.
-
For commercial systems, the checksum can be alphanumeric, and the length should be 10 or 11 characters. In case of violation, appropriate error message will be shown to the user.
O&M – 3G Cell Modem Replacement
Installers can opt-in for Pronto services to replace 3G cell modems on homeowner behalf.
-
Installers will have access to 3G cell modem sites page from Systems page
-
Installer will get to see all 3G modems which require modem replacement
-
Installer can click on ‘Replace with Pronto’ and provide their consent to share homeowner sites to Pronto so that homeowners can be contacted to replace the modems
What’s fixed?
-
Users are now getting OTP email upon registration. Earlier, there were cases reported that user was not getting OTP during registration.
System owners now receiving account activation emails when the installers give access to their systems. Earlier, a change made in Enphase® Installer Platform (Enlighten) to send account activation email in stage 3 has affected the functionality of sending account access by installers.
- New PV only system getting into ‘Meter not reporting’ issue is fixed and working normal now. A change made for storage system with string inverters to make production readings default to meter measurements had affected PV only systems as well.
- Reserved SOC and SOC values are now not shown up for PV only systems in Systems page. Earlier, as the database stores default SOC values for all systems had affected the values that are shown up to installers.
- Installers are now able to save the array details once the array info is edited and saved within ‘Settings’ page. This is caused due to the change in external PVWatts calculator that is used to calculate estimated energy production.
- System map now shows all the locations correctly within map view of Systems page. Earlier, the locations were not shown correctly as the libraries were broken.
- New cell modem plan dates are updated correctly when it replaces the old cell modem. It was not updated correctly before as it referred to old cell modem plan dates.
