The following known issues have been observed in IQ Gateway software version 7.6.172.
Known issues:
| # | Issue | Description |
|---|---|---|
|
1 |
Negative power consumption reported in Enphase App graphs |
Negative power consumption graphs in the Enphase App can occur when there is a significant delay in data reporting from an IQ Battery to an IQ Gateway. This delay could be due to a software update, network glitch, or some other reason. When data reporting from the IQ Battery resumes, all the accumulated energy data is reported to the IQ Gateway at once, leading to an incorrect power estimation for that period of time. This event has no impact on system operation and will be fixed in upcoming software releases. |

2 |
Zigbee communication dongle stuck in unknown state |
For a small set of sites, the Zigbee dongle gets stuck in an unknown state by the IQ Gateway at the start of provisioning. An IQ Gateway restart using a breaker, or a remote reboot instruction issued to the IQ Gateway via Enphase Support, can be used to ensure the Zigbee dongle is successfully detected. This issue will be fixed in upcoming software releases. |

Description |
|
1 |
A large spike in consumption is reported in the Enphase App when the IQ Gateway software is upgraded to v7.6.168 from a version earlier than the v7.6.x releases |
The Enphase App reports a huge spike in consumption whenever the IQ Gateway software is upgraded to v7.6.168 from a version earlier than the v7.6.x releases. Enphase mitigates this by deleting the records of that day for the system owner, thereby ensuring owner-facing energy consumption figures are not affected by this issue. |
|
2 |
Non-detection of Zigbee communication dongle |
For a small set of sites, the Zigbee dongle is not detected by the IQ Gateway at the start of provisioning. An IQ Gateway restart using a breaker, or a remote reboot instruction issued to the IQ Gateway via Enphase Support, can be used to ensure the Zigbee dongle is successfully detected. This issue will be fixed in upcoming software releases. |
|
3 |
AC disconnect failure event reported in the Enphase Installer Platform for sites with third-party inverters |
When the power exported or imported at the point of common coupling (PCC) exceeds allowed imbalance thresholds due to large, single-phase loads at a site, the IQ Gateway tries to balance the phases by limiting PV power production across phases. This is followed to reduce the home’s imbalance at the PCC. If the imbalance continues, the IQ Gateway issues an AC Disconnect command which can disconnect the PV from the grid via an external contactor. The external contactor’s coil is connected to the IQ Gateway relay terminals (refer to the IQ Gateway wiring label for relay terminals “NO” and “C”). Third-party string inverters are not controllable by the IQ Gateway. In such systems, power production from PV continues after the IQ Gateway issues an AC Disconnect command, leading to AC Disconnect failure events being reported by the IQ Gateway to the Enphase Installer Platform. These events have no impact on system operation and will be fixed in upcoming software releases for systems with third-party string inverters. |
|
4 |
Unnecessary curtailment of solar power generation for sites with M Series and IQ7 Series Microinverters |
When a system has mix of IQ7 Series and M Series Microinverters, the IQ Gateway is unable to complete phase aggregation. That means the IQ Gateway is unable to identify the phases to which various IQ7 Series Microinverters are connected. Due to this phase aggregation failure, these microinverters do not follow the instructions from the IQ Gateway to change power output. Such changes are required to comply with power export limits or thresholds for imbalance allowed across phases. This can lead to excess curtailment of solar power generation in certain cases. The probability of this occurrence is low and will be fixed in upcoming software releases. |

Negative power consumption reported in Enphase App graphs |
Negative power consumption graphs in the Enphase App can occur when there is a significant delay in data reporting from an IQ Battery to an IQ Gateway. This delay could be due to a software update, network glitch, or some other reason. When data reporting from the IQ Battery resumes, all the accumulated energy data is reported to the IQ Gateway at once, leading to an incorrect power estimation for that period of time. This event has no impact on system operation and will be fixed in upcoming software releases. |

| 1 | Support for Austria | Grid-tied IQ Battery 3T/10T is now available in Austria. |
| 2 | Increases battery capacity available for self-consumption | Enphase Energy System owners can now use more of their battery capacity for self-consumption. Gateway software 7.6.125 enables batteries to discharge to 2% State of Charge (SoC) during normal operation. Previously batteries were restricted to discharge to 10% SoC to maintain battery health. The 7.6.125 software includes firmware version 2.1.29 for the Battery Management Unit (BMU) which ensures battery health even when discharging down to 2% SoC. |

De IQ Combiner 3P EU is uitsluitend bedoeld voor binneninstallatie.
- Zet het deurtje zo wijd mogelijk open.
- Haal het deurtje uit het hengsel door er in de richting van de hengselopening aan te trekken.
