[RE-wrenches] Flickering lights on off grid AC coupled radian system

[Dana Orzel]

Ditto on misc flickering w LEDs on my Off grid Radian system 
I have some LEDs that are absolutely stable all the time and some of the smaller I guess I’d call them decorative type ones in a hanging lamp over a dining table seem to be unstable all the time and I would attribute that to Cheaper less reliable electronics in the LEDs & more so when are dimmed down .

We have had multiple reports of different LED and traditional ballasted fluorescent systems "flickering" during the day when the AC systems are producing power. We havent had issues with other off grid AC coupling using Sunny Islands, or even old VFX inverters, but this does seem to be an issue directly related to the Radians.I'm wondering if any of you have had experience with this, and if you found any hacks to "clean up" the power?
