Question: What is the purpose of the eGate? Must I use it?

Answer:

1) For commercials installations when the energy is delivered to the public grid the eGate must be installed so that the installation meets the standards of the grid operators. 

2) For small installations (only few MicroInverters)  – when all the energy is self-consumed (in the GridFree mode) and not delivered to the grid – it may not be necessary to use the gateway. However we always recommend applying all possible safety and protection solutions.
