Enphase > Ensemble Communications Kit

Communication Kit enables direct communication between the IQ Battery, the IQ System Controller, and the IQ Gateway or IQ Combiner box. It uses 2.4 GHz and 915 MHz frequencies in parallel for maximum reliability.

The Enphase Ensemble Communications Kit (COMMS-KIT-01) contains a wireless USB adapter to install in an Enphase IQ Combiner or near an Enphase IQ Envoy. The kit enables wireless communication between the Enphase IQ Envoy or Enphase IQ Combiner and Enphase Encharge storage as well as Enphase Enpower Microgrid Interconnection Device (MID). Note that you must install the Ensemble Communications Kit to enable complete functionality of the Ensemble energy management system. The kit includes both 2.4GHz and sub-GHz wireless radios. The Ensemble system seamlessly switches between the two bands to ensure reliable wireless communication.
