Prevent Enphase export with negative prices

Yeah, all this is a bit confusing – especially because the terms being used are a bit conflicting.

First, there’s a bit more clarification here (Dutch, but should translate fine).

But, most importantly to know is that multiple companies can be registered to your system. So you can add yourself without causing any issues with the existing/actual installer. (Only one can be the active ‘maintainer’ though. This will become clear in a second.)

  1. Register as a (fake) company with Enphase here. Make sure you pick the first option (company!). Pick a funny name for your fake company, use a fake VAT number, and use a different email than the one you used for your (normal) owner account.

  2. Once done with that, login to Enlighten as the owner.

  3. Go to Menu → Account → My access control.

  4. Find:

    and enter the email you used for your fake company.
    (Right above this thing you’ll already see the name/company of your actual installer by the way. Remember that.)

  5. After granting access, right below that you’ll find a “PV system maintainer” pull down. Select your fake company there.

  6. Now you’ll see something like this on the page:

    Verigo, my actual installer, is still there.
    WolfSolar (my fake company) is now registered as the maintainer.

    (Notice the delete buttons. With a few clicks you can revert the whole situation if needed. If you’re ever contacting your original installer (for help/warranty), I’d advise to remove yourself as maintainer here first and make sure the original installer is the maintainer again. That way they have remote access to your system once again.)

  7. The login for your fake company is the login you use in the Enphase Controller app.

Hope this helps.
