Solar System
Overview
Solar System is a DIY solar project built around a small Enphase-based setup connected into the house electrical system. It uses 3 solar panels, each paired with its own Enphase microinverter, plus an Enphase Envoy gateway for monitoring and system communication.
Small but complete solar setup
The project is interesting because it is not just a panel installation, but a complete microinverter-based solar system. Each panel works independently through its own Enphase microinverter, which makes production easier to monitor and keeps the setup modular.
Enphase and Home Assistant monitoring
The Enphase Envoy acts as the communication and monitoring layer for the system, collecting production data from the microinverters. That data is also integrated into Home Assistant, so solar production can be viewed together with the rest of the house energy and automation setup.
Connected to the house
The system is connected to the home electrical installation, making it part of the real energy flow of the house rather than a standalone experiment. It became one of the first steps toward a more complete home energy setup, alongside monitoring, automation, and later solar/battery upgrades.
