Issues with your solar system can often be resolved by rebooting your equipment. Before you begin, please make sure it's daylight outside so you can confirm whether the reboot was successful.
If you need help at any point, our technical support team is happy to walk you through it.
Step 1: Turn Off Your IQ Combiner Breakers
Your Enphase IQ Combiner is a small grey box labeled "Enphase." It's usually located next to your electrical panel, your meter, or your AC disconnect.
Open the IQ Combiner box and flip all breakers away from the center. There may be 2 to 5 breakers inside.
Step 2: Turn Off Your AC Disconnect
Your AC Disconnect is typically a small metal box on the outside of your home, next to your electricity meter. Look for a red sticker that reads "AC Disconnect" or "Photovoltaic System AC Disconnect."
Lift all switches or handles to the OFF position.
Step 3: Reset Your Solar Breaker
Locate your main electrical panel or breaker box — usually a grey panel in a low-traffic area like your basement, garage, utility closet, or outside.
Open the cover and find the breaker labeled "PV Solar Breaker" (look for a red sticker).
Flip it to OFF, hold for a moment, then flip it back to ON.
Don't see a PV Solar Breaker? That's okay — skip ahead to Step 4.
Step 4: Turn Your AC Disconnect Back On
Lift all switches or handles to the ON position.
This allows electricity to flow between your inverter and the grid.
Step 5: Turn Your IQ Combiner Breakers Back On
Flip all breakers back to the center position.
The system may take a few minutes to come back online. When the IQ Combiner/Envoy has reconnected successfully, the leftmost LED light will turn solid green.
The green lights mean your system is active — but it takes a few days to fully confirm. If the restart was successful, production data will begin appearing in your app within 1–3 days.
