If the inverter were in search, I would think that there would be
no AC power produced by<br>
the micro inverters at all because of anti-islanding.<br>

Flickering of Lights <br>
<br>
Hi Matt,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I can’t tell you the reason but I had the same
problem on my Outback VFX.</div>
<div class="">I didn’t put it on a O scope, but sure looked
like a 60 cycle flicker to me. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">On my system of 2 enphase, when the loads
exceeded the output of the enphase the flicker when away.</div>
<div class="">But only 2 isn’t very real world.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">In the end it was just a test for me, and it
didn’t work.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">

<div class="">I wired an Enphase string into my
critical loads panel at my shop. I was curious to
see how it would work as I have customers with
Enphase systems that occasionally contact me about
adding a battery backup system.<br class="">
<br class="">
Why do the fluorescent lights and LEDs flicker
once the grid power is dropped. The flicker seems
to start as soon as there is enough sun to power
up a few of the micros (they don't even have to be
making much power).<br class="">
<br class="">
The shop is grid-tied with a XW 4024 for battery
backup. Battery capacity is 370Ah.<br class="">
<br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I'd love an explanation as to why this
happens and if there is a way to mitigate the
flicker I would also love to hear it.<br class="">
<br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Many thanks!</div>
