Passing this info along One of our Enphase customers reported that his local electric utility installed a new metering system, TWACs by Aclara. Once they installed a new meter on the service, the system began registering ACFOOR (AC Frequency Out Of Range) messages.He contacted Enphase and th

Dave, In multiple conversations about this with both the utility and Enphase there was concern about high inductive loads, possibly from the paper mill in the town, that turned out not to be the case. The fix Enphase developed worked, but I thought it would be worth mentioning. Daryl > Dave, >

I'd like to revisit a thread from early February where we were discussing Enphase microinverters going off line due to utility power quality issues when "Pinging" of smart meters occur. I have a system where I was told by Enphase that they applied their software fix in late March, but in this c
