Enphase System Service Guide


Keep Your System Online and Working Smoothly

At Newport Solar, we want your solar system to perform reliably for years. Many system issues, especially communication-related ones, can be solved quickly without the need for a service visit. Follow the guide below to troubleshoot common Enphase system issues and help avoid unnecessary repair costs.


Step 1: Check for Common Causes of Communication Issues

Before taking additional steps, confirm that none of the following changes have occurred at your home:

  • The Enphase Envoy has been unplugged or moved

  • Your WiFi router has been replaced, relocated, or the password has changed

  • You changed your Internet Service Provider (ISP)


If any of these are true, please call Enphase Support first. They offer free 24/7 technical support and can often help you reconnect your system remotely.

Step 2: Try Reconnecting Your System Using the Mobile App

The easiest way to reconnect your Envoy is through the Enphase Enlighten mobile app:

  1. Open or install the Enphase Enlighten App from your device’s App Store.

  2. Log in using your Enphase credentials.

  3. Follow the instructions in this Enphase mobile app reconnect guide.


This method works with Envoy-S and IQ Combiner models. It is not compatible with older "pill-style" Envoys.


Step 3: Manual Reconnection Method

If the mobile app doesn’t work or you prefer a hands-on approach, follow the step-by-step instructions provided in this Enphase manual reconnect guide.

Account Ownership Changes

Ownership transfers must be completed through Enphase. Please initiate the transfer using their Ownership Transfer Guide You may also contact Enphase Support at 1-877-797-4743 to initiate the transfer. Please also notify Newport Solar of the new owner’s contact information so we can update our records and continue to support the system.

Using the Enphase App

Many common questions and alerts can be reviewed directly in the Enphase Enlighten app. The app allows you to see system status, current production, and recent performance trends.

You should have received an email from Enphase at the time of installation with instructions to set up your account and log in to the Enlighten app. This email includes a unique link required to activate your system. Please use this link rather than creating a new account. Allow 1-2 days for delivery and check your spam folder if needed.

If your system includes batteries, the same Enlighten app is used for both solar and battery monitoring.
