4. Parts and tools required
In addition to the microinverters, PV modules, and racking, you will need the following:
Enphase equipment
• IQ Gateway: Required to monitor production. For installation information, refer to the IQ
Gateway Installation and Operation Manual.
Enphase Installer App: Download the Enphase Installer App, open it, and
log in to your Enphase Account. Use it later to scan the microinverter serial
numbers and connect to the IQ Gateway to track system installation
progress. To download, go to https://enphase.com/en-au/installers/apps or scan the QR code at
right.
• IQ Relay: Single-phase (Q-RELAY-1P-INT) or multi-phase (Q-RELAY-3P-INT).
NOTE: The multi-phase IQ Relay also provides phase coupling to allow microinverters on all
phases to communicate with the IQ Gateway. Use a legrand phase coupler (LPC-01) for the
multi-phase system for phase coupling if IQ Relay is not installed in the multi-phase system.
• Tie wraps or IQ Cable Clip (ET-CLIP-100): Works with both single-phase and multi-phase IQ Cable.
• IQ Sealing Caps (Q-SEAL-10): For any unused connectors on the IQ Cable.
• IQ Terminator (Q-TERM-R-10 for single-phase or Q-TERM-3P-10 for multi-phase): Enphase
recommends one terminator for each AC cable segment end; typically, two are needed per branch
circuit.
• IQ Disconnect Tool (Q-DISC-10).
• IQ Field Wireable Connectors (male and female - single-phase: Q-CONN-R-10M and Q-CONN-R-
10F; multi-phase: Q-CONN-3P-10M and Q-CONN-3P-10F) (optional).
