Subject: [RE-wrenches] AC-coupling Enphase/XW Causes Flickering of Lights
Hi Matt,
I can’t tell you the reason but I had the same problem on my Outback VFX.I
didn’t put it on a O scope, but sure looked like a 60 cycle flicker to me.
On my system of 2 enphase, when the loads exceeded the output of the enphase
the flicker when away.But only 2 isn’t very real world.
In the end it was just a test for me, and it didn’t work.

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.
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).
The shop is grid-tied with a XW 4024 for battery backup. Battery capacity is
370Ah.
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.
Many thanks!
