Hi Adam,
We have a clause in all of our contracts that reads “prices not include any un-anticipatable events”
While I can understand the need to placate clients, the days of solar martyrdom needs to end! Is that line replacing a $10 lamp with a $40 lamp? That is up to you.
Keep up the good work!

Adam: I have experienced the same scenario some years ago with an oval gateway. We tried some filters but they did not help. We did not have an isolated load center for the gateway. I think the client bought a new lamp without touch control. You need to connect the gateway and inverter to an isolated load center so you can put a filter on the feeder to that subpanel.

Subject: [RE-wrenches] Enphase Gateway causing lamp to flicker Wrenches We have a project where the homeowner has some of those bedside lamps where you touch them to turn them on/off/dim (rather than having a switch). It seems like when the Enphase Gateway is powered up it causes the lights to freak out. Once we flip the breaker to the Gateway off the lamp operates as normalZ Interestingly, with another load (homeowner was using a dehumidifier) plugged into the circuit it seems to stabilize the lights. We isolated the problem to the Gateway specifically (ie having PV breakers on/off doesn’t make a difference). It’s a supply side connection. The house is small but we tried the lamp in multiple parts of the house and it happens everywhere. Enphase doesn’t have any ideas. Anyone have this happen to them? I think we might just need to buy them some new lamps, but I’m also interested to understand what is happening. These are just some cheap lamps, but wondering if other household loads that are more sensitive might be affected as well?
