How to connect your Enphase Microinverter to the internet
(For all Enphase systems using the Envoy)
1. Check your WiFi signal strength
Stand near your Envoy and check your home WiFi on your phone.
If your network does not appear, the signal is too weak — install a WiFi extender or move your router closer.
Without a detectable signal, the Envoy cannot connect to the internet.
2. Locate your Envoy communication gateway
Your Envoy may be wall-mounted, inside a switchboard, or behind a cover panel.
Look for the button below the symbol showing a mobile phone.
Press this button — a green light will appear beside the icon, meaning the Envoy is ready for WiFi setup.
3. Connect your phone to the Envoy hotspot
Open WiFi settings on your phone.
Look for a network beginning with Envoy_XXXXXX (your serial number).
Tap to connect.
If asked for a password, enter the last 6 digits of the Envoy serial number — printed on the label.
4. Open the Envoy login page
Open a web browser (Chrome or Safari recommended).
In the address bar, type: 172.30.1.1
Press Enter — this will open the Envoy interface.
5. Log in to network settings
When prompted:
- Username: envoy
- Password: last 6 digits of the Envoy serial number
Tap Sign In.
6. Select your home WiFi network
An identity verification page will appear.
Enter the default credentials below:
Account: user
Password: pw1111
Then press Verification to continue.
7. Wait for connection to complete
Allow up to 3 minutes.
Once successful, you should see:
- Connected to WiFi
- Envoy online in the Enphase App / Enlighten Portal
A solid connection indicator light on the Envoy also confirms success.
8. Confirm system monitoring
Open the Enphase Enlighten or Installer App.
Check that solar production and device status are updating normally.
