Enphase IQ System Controller 3G SC200G111C240US01

The Enphase System Controller 3G w/Generator Integration SC200G111C240US01 is an essential component for seamless connectivity between the home, generator, grid power, and solar PV with microinverters. It is a critical component of the IQ8 Series Microinverters, providing microgrid interconnection device functionality by detecting and transitioning the home energy system from grid power to backup power automatically.

The IQ System Controller 3G is designed to consolidate interconnection equipment into a single enclosure and streamlines the grid-independent capabilities of PV, storage, and generator installations. It provides a consistent, pre-wired solution for residential applications, maximizing efficiency, and ease of use.

Additionally, the IQ System Controller 3G supports generator integration, making it possible to integrate a compatible generator with the home energy system. This feature ensures that the home energy system can provide backup power even when it is not generating power from solar PV.

The Enphase IQ System Controller 3G is equipped with a host of features that make it a reliable and safe energy management solution. It comes with a 10-year limited warranty and controls safe connectivity to the grid, ensuring that your home is always safe and secure.

An automatic detection feature ensures that the system can detect grid outages and provide seamless transition to backup power. It uses a control cable for wired communication and connects to the load or service equipment side of the main load panel. The IQ System Controller 3G also features centered mounting brackets that support single-stud mounting and supports conduit entry from the bottom, bottom left, and bottom right.

The Enphase IQ System Controller 3G enables backup for solar and solar + battery configurations. It includes neutral-forming transformer for split-phase 120/240 V backup operation and integrates hold-down functionality to eliminate the need for hold-down kits and special breakers.

The system also includes a system shutdown switch to disconnect PV, battery, and generator systems and a power control system feature to control solar and storage operation based on Main panel rating. To promote ease of use and installation, the IQ System Controller 3G is required for Sunlight Jump Start.

The Enphase System Controller 3G is compatible with the IQ Battery 5P and supports IQ Series Microinverters and M Series Microinverters. However, it’s important to note that Enphase does not support mixing IQ8 series microinverters with other series on the same IQ Gateway. For those looking for additional capabilities beyond the standard package, they can pair the controller with the Comms Kit 2 and a compatible AC standby generator, providing reliable backup power.
