Turn the Enphase Installer Platform into an API

What you can build on the Installer Portal

• Get alerts across your sites

  Build this

  Reads the Alerts tab: which of your sites are affected and the type of alert on each.

  Takes

  Alert type (optional)

  Returns

  Site name, site ID, alert type

• Get a site's events

  Build this

  Opens a site from the Systems page and reads its Events tab: each event's status, impact, device, event name and start time.

  Takes

  Site ID

  Returns

  Status, impact, device, event name, started

• Get the Site Energy Production report

  Build this

  Opens a site's Reports tab, runs the Site Energy Production report for a date range and reads the energy produced.

  Takes

  Site ID, start date, end date

  Returns

  Site name, start date, end date, energy produced in kWh

• Request a return

  Build this

  Opens Request Return for a site, picks the shipping address and device type, enters the serial number, selects the device and submits.

  Takes

  Site ID, shipping address, device type, serial number

  Returns

  Site ID, device type, serial number, confirmation shown

Automate the Installer Portal with a workflow

A workflow runs your methods as one process, with nobody at the screen. A schedule or a call from your own system starts it, the steps run in order, and the result arrives in your inbox or in the systems you already use.

• New alerts each morning, with the events behind them

  Build this

  Starts

  Every weekday at 7:00

  Step 1

  Get the alerts for your sites from the Alerts tab.

  Step 2

  Keep the sites that were not in Alerts on the last run.

  Step 3

  For each of those sites, get its events.

  Step 4

  Email you the list, one section per site, with its alert type and events.

• Monthly production for each site, posted to your system

  Build this

  Starts

  On the 1st of every month at 8:00

  Step 1

  For each site ID you list, get the Site Energy Production report for last month.

  Step 2

  Keep the site name and the month's energy produced in kWh.

  Step 3

  Post the results as JSON to your reporting system's webhook.

You can run a workflow by hand on every plan, Free included. Schedules and webhook triggers come with the paid plans, from $29 a month.

Once built, one call from your code

Once you have built a method, it is one POST to /v1/runs from your backend, or a tool an AI agent calls over MCP. This is what “Get alerts across your sites” would look like.

curl https://api.fous.com/v1/runs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FOUS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "method": "enlighten.enphaseenergy.com/get_alerts",
    "input": {
      "alert_type": "Production Issue"
    }
  }'

{
  "status": "completed",
  "data": {
    "alerts": [
      {
        "site_name": "Acme Residence, Elm St",
        "site_id": "3204871",
        "alert_type": "Production Issue"
      },
      {
        "site_name": "Northwind Warehouse Roof",
        "site_id": "3188054",
        "alert_type": "Production Issue"
      }
    ]
  }
}

An example with invented data, not a ready-made endpoint. The method exists in your organization once you build it, and its name, inputs and fields follow your request.

The Installer Portal’s own options

Enphase's Enlighten API v4 has a Partner plan for installers: it covers system details, site and device monitoring and system configurations, and includes the Commissioning API. It is available only to registered Enphase installers with at least 10 installations, with 10,000 free hits a month. Others can use the developer plans, which need each system owner's approval.

Signing in to the Installer Portal

The Installer Portal signs you in with your email address and password, or with a 6-digit code sent to your registered email and mobile number. Code sign-in is not offered once two-step verification is on. With Fous you sign in once through the Installer Portal's own sign-in with your own account: the login is sealed with AES-256, a code sent to your email is handled, and an expired session is signed back in.

Worth knowing

Power production tasks run within 30 minutes

After Disable or Enable Power Production, the IQ Gateway runs the task within 30 minutes, or at least one hour over cellular. IQ Batteries do not charge or discharge while production is disabled.

Live Status needs a recent gateway

Live Status shows real-time production only for systems with IQ Gateway software 7.0.104 and above. System Diagnostics tasks need version 7.0.93 and up.

Production alerts follow your estimates

If a site misses the monthly benchmarks set in Production Estimate & Threshold, a production issue alert appears. Enphase recommends recording at least one month of production before setting estimates.

Branch offices and admin rights

Enphase's activation guide says to confirm you are signed in to the correct branch office. The Services tab and disabling user accounts need admin access in the company account.
