Product Overview
The Enphase COMMS-KIT-01 communications kit is a wireless USB adapter for IQ Gateway or IQ Combiner communication with IQ Battery 3/10/3T/10T (formerly Encharge) and IQ System Controller 1/2 (formerly Enpower).
It is distinct from COMMS-KIT-02, which Enphase lists for IQ Battery 5P and IQ System Controller 3/3G on Combiner 5/5C systems. Use COMMS-KIT-01 only when the Americas documentation for your battery/controller generation calls for it.
Best For
- IQ Battery 3/10/3T/10T and IQ System Controller 1/2 systems (formerly Encharge / Enpower / Ensemble) that specify COMMS-KIT-01 with a metered IQ Gateway or IQ Combiner.
- IQ System Controller 1 and 2 systems where Enphase documentation lists COMMS-KIT-01 (the IQ Combiner 5 quick install guide calls for it with IQ Battery 3/10/3T/10T and IQ System Controller 1 or 2).

What You May Also Need
Usually required
- A metered IQ Gateway or IQ Combiner with an available USB port.
- Confirm the Enphase compatibility matrix for your battery and System Controller generation before ordering.
May be required
- IQ Gateway ENV2-IQ-AM1-240 when a standalone metered gateway is part of the design.
- COMMS-KIT-02 for IQ Battery 5P / Controller 3 paths (order the kit Enphase lists for that generation — do not substitute blindly).
Optional upgrades
- Enphase Mobile Connect cellular modem, ordered separately, if the site needs cellular backup connectivity.
Check current manufacturer documentation before combining components, especially batteries, inverters, communications equipment and system-control hardware.
Important Considerations
- Do not assume COMMS-KIT-01 replaces COMMS-KIT-02. Combiner 5/5C ships with COMMS-KIT-02 capability for IQ Battery 5P; IQ Battery 3/10/3T/10T and IQ System Controller 1/2 (formerly Encharge/Enpower) use COMMS-KIT-01 per Enphase footnotes.
- Professional installation required. Follow Enphase instructions.
