Dave,
The Thumper creates a high current, high voltage discharge. It uses a massive
capacitor bank that you connect to the conductors on one side. When it works
correctly, it'll cause a massive arc blast at the location of the fault.
Assuming the fault is underground, it'll cause a big thumping
We are planning to combine Enphase circuits in an IQ combiner box, with
enclosed Gateway, on the outside of a straw bale house.
Will the WiFi signal penetrate a straw bale and the two layers of stucco
the wall is made of?
Thank you,
Drake

Drake; How much chicken wire or other metal mesh is in the strawbale walls
and stucco? Can you measure wifi signal strength ahead of time with a
smartphone? Is it possible to hardwire Cat5 from the homeowner's
router/extender/etc to the WAN port of the IQ Gateway? That is always
preferable to wifi.
Drake:
Have a wifi extender on hand to help if needed.

Drake,
I can't speak to your specific situation, but I live in a strawbale house and
have no problem getting a Wi-Fi signal outside within reasonable distance of
the router.
Thanks,
Will

I have install a gateway in an exterior equipment space outside of a straw
bale envelope once and wi-fi reception was no problem.
I think that every situation needs to be evaluated on it’s own, however.
Checking with a smart phone is a good start.
