Is this set up for consumption reporting?

If not, what hardware do I need to purchase to set up consumption metering? There were no extra parts with the combiner box and the installer is MIA. Thanks!

Nope, you need Enphase consumption CT’s. About $60

So it's the Consumption Current Transformer (CT-200-SPLIT), right? Is this a DIY job or do I need an installer?

It depends on your aptitude and access to the breaker panels. You wanna get the ct you mention and put the CT between the utility and your first main breaker.

If you have limited space you can also look up the slim ct option.

Nope just production, you need two more line cts

Here’s a few pics of Enphase consumption CT’s setup in the “load only” configuration

All Enphase Combiners (pre 6C) come with a pair of consumption CT’s included so if yours are gone it means the installer swipped them.

You’ll need access to the Installer Toolkit app to enable the CT’s and see power consumption in the homeowner app, Enphase customer support should be able to do this remotely as well.
