I called Enphase as they were still open for support calls and got my answer. They said it is not necessary but of course they recommend.

Re: Enphase Micro Inverters... Is Envoy Required???I can not find a straight answer on this but if you get some Enphase Microinverters, do you really have to buy the Envoy to run the panels? Sucks that it is around $500 if it really is required to work.
Thanks in Advance,
Robert
If you absolutely have to change some settings to get the unit to work (like changing frequency or grid voltage upper or lower limits) then you either need to get the Envoy or have the installer use an Envoy to tune the system up for you.
It is possible that Enphase will ship a differently configured unit if clearly ordered for other standards, but I would not count on it. :-)SMA SB 3000, old BP panels.
