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.

hello cool video i have a question can i use this system in europe?? you can't get it here in europe
This was such a great project to be a part of! 😄
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.
How to order ?
Nice one Duncan! Lookin' good mate. The CK2 is a great solution.
This sucks; my app is different; what a pain in the ass!
Hey just download the latest version! Google Play or the App Store. Enjoy!
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?
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.
Very helpful, but would be nice if you zoomed into the areas you were focused on. Cheers!
Thankyou for the feedback, this is a great suggestion. I will put this on my radar and I will see what I can do I do to build an improved version of this video with more detailed close-ups! Thanks for watching!
Have 30 IQ7A panels. My A/C is 3phase 28kw Cap Heat.12.1current. 8.24 input. O/night consumption varies50-80 kwh. Can I use Batteries ?
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
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/
I use the app to track my solar production throughout the year and switch my pool equipment timer to ensure that it’s aligned. A pool pump is can chug through a lot of electricity. The app is well designed and the UI is fairly easy to understand.
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.
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.
@@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.
Well explained
Hi we have a recent Enphase system since last year.. would love to get batteries. But very low tech. No wifi etc etc. As simple as possible. What do you suggest?
There are many ways to install batteries into your home. As you have a lot of flexibility with products, Enphase recommends speaking you the original installer of your solar system. If you don’t know the installer you can also use the Enphase find an installer tool here on the website: enphase.com/en-au/installer-locator
@@enphase_anzam i allowed to use other brands?
I would like to have a way to produce a visual cue for my family (who are not willing to log into the Enphase app) to know that enough solar is being produced to start the dishwasher or electric dryer for example. Something as simple a green light that comes on near the dryer when the excess solar is above a threshold I can set. Is this possible? Thank you for this series it is very helpful.
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 have 31 panels with 31 IQ8A Inverters mated to a 4C Combiner Box. When does that fit when I add some 5P batteries.
Hi Thomas, It sounds like you are located in North America. To get support for your specific question, (as your equipment requirements are different than those of ANZ) I recommend contacting Enphase in your region. This link should help get you to North American support for your questions: enphase.com/support
Why the array tab never works in the app??? When I asked the installing company they’re like a deer and a headlight and the person that I was talking to look like sound like they just picked them off the street with no knowledge about what he supposed to say on the phone not to mention as ghetto as he can get a person that will never have any kind of knowledge to inform me about anything
Hi, Could you explain what is not working in the array tab? If the array hasn't been mapped by your installer they can contact Enphase support for assistance in loading for you. Alliteratively, you can contact Enphase support directly for assistance in getting this rectified. 1800 006 374 (AU) | 09 887 0421 (NZ)
No comments yet?
I'm having such a hard time finding the right answer to my questions regarding an Enphase installation. Maybe you could answer? 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.
How do I check how many cycles each of my 5P batteries has done? And how do I check battery health?
You can find this data on the Enphase App. From the homepage, click Menu, System, Devices, then click Battery, click the 'Limited Warranty' link. There it will tell you the discharge cycle count. If you have more than one IQ Battery 5P, you can check for each individual with the same method.
How do they protect from backfeed when the mains go down, the blokes working on the outside line so they don’t get a shock from somebody up flow using solar, there cannot be an automatic shut off as the solar tricks it to think there is 230 volts from somewhere and staying open.?????? It confuses me how they arrange it.
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).
In the installation manual it says 150mm minimal apart, and your diagram is in series not parallel... quite confusing
question: What will happen if you connect 3 batteries in a 3 phase system in parrallel? so each phase will go to each battery instead of wiring it in series? Will that still work?
Dear, I live in the Philippines. I intend to install a 3,2 kW PV installation. But here they have a 2 * 130 V grid, no zero lead. How do I have to connect the micro inverters?
Please contact Enphase Philippines for further information about compatible products: enphase.com/en-ph email: +63 1800 132 00138
Many thanks for the information however, why the obsession with the infernal background music.
Tres bien Enphase 😊
Enphase rules 😊
High enough level to be consumable and just nerdy enough for people like myself. Nicely done!
At 0:55 Should that be parallel or series?
Without wire end sleeves everything is a botch
Who even buys fax machines
Very informative Duncan - keen to see this go as smoothly at my place when my batteries are added!
Enphase all the way 👍🚀
Hey, don't want to be that guy, but I noticed that drain wire should have some heatsink applied, could short something out in there, same applies for the transition from the outer sheath to the cores, got some foil exposed. I have had many years experience wiring these kinds of cables, and heatshrink is best practice. Thanks.
Very good explanation Duncan, good work mate 👌
Why don't you better safety tools ? Not everyone can make sure that the wires went in there places.
IQ8D-BAT ?
IQ8D-Bat are the microinverters integral to the IQ Battery 5P. There are six of these pre-installed in the IQ Battery 5P. These micrinverters create the AC grid, for backup operation of the Enphase Energy System. Please refer to addtitional information here on the Enphase Website: enphase.com/en-au/homeowners/home-solar-batteries
If I don't want to use CT's can I also use a single phase envoy-s standard in a 3ph setup with 3ph q Relais and feed the envoy from 1 phase after the Q Relais. PV is 3 x 3 panels using 3 ph cables.
Hi Les, There are different Enphase products for different countries around the globe. The Envoy-S Standard is not a product used in ANZ. Please refer to the North American UA-cam Chanel for further information ua-cam.com/users/enphaseenergy
Super video
Can I use the Q-Relay (3-Phase) for 2 groups in a 1-Phase environment? Or do I need the 1-fase Q Relay device twice? I need to connect 18x IQ7Plus on 2x 16A groups.
I think in this video ua-cam.com/video/1qqOsRKb_hI/v-deo.html he says you need to use 2x single phase relays
@@coconutpalm1631 Thanks for your reply, I ended up with 3 solarpanel groups and I used 3x the 1-fase Q-Relay, works great :)
