Five X Four Hayes Lane Project (2015) - Solar PV in Bespoke Architecture
An Enphase project completed in 2015 using our original 3rd generation of microinverters!
Australian icon in sustainable living - the Five x Four Hayes Lane Project, a unique, four storey home built on a 20 square metre footprint in East Melbourne, Victoria.
Featured on Grand Designs Australia in 2015, the Five x Four Project set a new precedent for the design and running of a sustainable home in Australia as it considered the full life cycle of a building’s development from design, use of materials to the day-to-day operations.
At the building's towering peak sits a state of the art 4kW solar system, powered by Enphase technology. The system was built without compromise for liveability and functionality with 15 Yingli Solar n-type Monocrystalline 270W Panda Series panels integrated into the building’s façade and roofline. The installation comprises over three different angles including six panels installed vertically on the northern façade of the building. The unique approach to solar system design demonstrates that when using world-leading solar technology, there are no limits to achieving maximum output throughout the day.
Energy drawn from these panels gets converted into electricity using 15 Enphase M250 (gen3) Microinverters, and were designed to deliver a superior standard in reliability, power and efficiency. Microinverters installed behind each panel, helping to maintain the building’s striking aesthetics. Occupants can monitor the system’s generation.
enphase.com/en-au/homeowners/enphase-app
The intelligent, cloud-based platform continues to provide insights on energy production, the health of the system and pre-emptive alerts to any potential issues.
With Five x Four's estimated peak cooling load on a 40°C day being under 3kW, the solar system was designed to generate more power than the home will consume, therefore exporting approximately 20 percent of the system's generation back to the grid. This was updated with the installation of the Enphase Storage System, an AC Battery, to allow Five x Four to store its solar power for use at night.
Ralph Alphonso, Owner and Project Manager of Five x Four said, “Generating power on site was one of the key components and goals of the 5x4 Hayes Lane Project. It was important for us to maximise the energy output for our tiny footprint, and the performance specifications of both Yingli Solar panels and Enphase microinverters enabled us to do just that. The combination of these two products gave us flexibility in the design to balance liveability and high energy production."
The Five x Four Hayes Lane Project was modelled on a minimal life-cycle energy and One Planet Living approach. Slotting between existing buildings, this pre-fabricated residential dwelling houses two people and over three floors. The One Planet Living approach was a commitment to enable a building’s occupants to monitor their ecological footprint and adapt their behaviour to yield better results.

    It’s a pity the y-axis scale is wrong by a factor of 4, and Enphase (who have been told about the problem) don’t care to fix it. Either re-label it as kW/15m (which is pretty stupid) or correct the scale to read kWh as currently labeled. I would love to see this comment made irrelevant via an app update but I’m not holding my breath.

    Thinking about installing two 5P batteries and the controller inside the house. Can anyone tell me the ambient temperature generated (per battery) and the decibels (db) generated?

    • @enphase_anz
      @enphase_anz 3 місяці тому

      1. IQ Batteries do have an ambient operating temperature range of -20 degC to +55 Deg C. In terms of the actual temperature generated, this is not a data point supplied in the product information. However, having worked with, (and living with!) many IQ Batteries, these have no detectable temperature gain. 2. There is no sound produced by the IQ Batteries. This is because there are no moving parts in an IQ battery (many products have fans, and the IQ Batteries do not require cooling fans). I also suggest talking to your installer for their recommendations for a suitable location. For example, installations here in Australia, no battery can be installed within habitable areas of a house.

    • @enphase_anz
      @enphase_anz 4 місяці тому

      Hi Ken , Enphase IQ Batteries can be used to offset consumption for any appliance in the home. Enphase IQ Batteries can reduce the cost of purchasing electricity by using them to power your home's energy consumption for all three phases when the main AC, grid is available. The key to getting the design correct for your requirements is having enough solar to cover your daytime loads, as well as enough solar excess generated by your solar panels to charge the number of IQ batteries you have installed in the home. I recommend talking to the installer of your original Enphase system to get a system design undertaken for IQ Batteries.

    Why only IP55 rated? If mounted outside, should be IP65 rated. IP55 is only dust resistant and mildly water resistant, not water proof. Allan

    • @enphase_anz
      @enphase_anz 4 місяці тому

      Hi Allan, That's correct - the Enphase IQ Battery 5P is IP55 rated. Anything higher than IP44 is suited for outdoor use. Products like IQ Microinverters are IP67 rated as they are permanently enclosed by a double insulated, corrosion-resistant polymer housing. There are 6 x IQ8BAT Microinverters factory fitted inside the IQ Battery 5P. The IQ Battery 5P is designed to be serviceable on the side of your home, so the cover can be removed by your solar installer in the event of an unlikely fault. You can learn more about the IP ratings here: clarionuk.com/resources/ip-ratings/

    Unfortunately, the IQ8 microinverters for the REC 420Watt solar panels are not available in Australia so the lower power IQ7 were used. This reduced my power output by 1kW on a 6.7kW system!! Very disappointing.

    • @enphase_anz
      @enphase_anz 4 місяці тому

      Hi John, due to the way microinverters work, you will get more output from your solar array every day. The IQ7X Microinverters are a perfect choice for your REC 420-watt panels. Enphase recommends this combination. The recently released REC Alpha Pure-RX solar panels have a higher power rating, and therefore we recommend IQ8X Microinverters.

    • @JohnTate-lt2lh
      @JohnTate-lt2lh 4 місяці тому

      @@enphase_anz Thanks for your reply. The REC 420AA Pure-R have a max output of 420Watts. The IQ7X have a peak power output of 320VA. The IQ8 have a peak power output of 384VA, which I was initially quoted, allow more output. Unfortunately, just prior to installation, the installation company discovered that you do not supply to IQ8 to Australia to match the REC higher wattage panels. If I had known beforehand, I would have changed my solar panels to match.

      It is possible. Depends how good you are with computers. Home Assistant is a home automation setup which can extract the data from the Envoy and from there you can set up triggers for various actions. I have setup a Raspberry Pi running a programme called EnphaseCollector, which gives a webpage interface that can be accessed from anywhere on your network, e.g. continuously on a tablet. It has a useful dial format showing production and consumption. It can also be run on a Mac. Unfortunately there is no integration with Google Home or Alexa. There is a way to extract the data yourself from the envoy, but requires programming skills with python or similar.

I basically would like to know if I can connect 3 single phase Q relays one on each phase of a three phase system? We have many houses here that have 3 phase feeds but it seems the enphase 3 phase system is marketed as a commercial product only.

      Hi Kevin, Enphase supplies 1phase (Q-RELAY-1P-INT), and also 3phase IQ Relays (Q-RELAY-3P-INT) for installation in microinverter circuits for solar grid connected installations. Either of these products can be used in 1phase or multiphase applications. However, we do recommend using the 3P IQ Relays in three phase sites , as these manage the microinverters across phases, and enable compliance to AS/NZS4777.2 for multiphase site requirements.

      Products that are grid connected and backup the home must be approved and tested to AS/NZS regulations. In the IQ Battery System with IQ System Controller, there is a certified approved smart contactor that opens and therefore disconnects the house from the AC main grid, so that the Enphase System can continue to backup the home with 230V AC power. This certifed protection is called the Microgrid Interconnect Device (MID).
