<div dir="ltr">Hi William, <div><br></div><div>I am 100% sure that the IQ7 would work without a Gateway. I am nearly sure that the IQ8's will as well. I'll sometimes turn the solar on before the gateway is fully installed just to test the strings, and the microinverters do seem to wake up. I am not sure what California might have to do with this, but I am in NY. The IQ8 standard grid settings are compliant with UL1741-SB as well.</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div>Dave</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote gmail_quote_container"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Jan 20, 2025 at 8:35\u202fPM William Miller via RE-wrenches <<a href="mailto:re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org">re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div class="msg-4885369292029941963"><div lang="EN-US"><div class="m_-4885369292029941963WordSection1"><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Verdana,"sans-serif"">Friends:</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Verdana,"sans-serif""> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Verdana,"sans-serif"">Will the Enphase IQ8 operate in California right out of the box without connecting to a gateway?</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Verdana,"sans-serif""> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Verdana,"sans-serif"">(I know I will not get monitoring or firmware updating.
