On any given day, the amount of energy your system produces is determined by multiple factors including its size, efficiency, and the amount of solar energy your panels receive.

  • To reconnect your IQ Gateway, follow the reconnection steps.

  • Ensure the smartphone, tablet, or laptop you are using to reconnect your system is within 3 meters of the IQ Gateway.

  • If you have had multiple failed attempts to reconnect your IQ Gateway, restart the IQ Gateway once and then try again.

  • Try the manual reconnection process if you can’t reconnect your IQ Gateway using the above steps.

If you frequently see a “Microinverter not reporting” error status, check your home for sources of interference to the power-line communication.

A few usual suspects that can cause interference to your power-line communication are listed below. Usually, moving them to a power outlet farther away from your Gateway should restore reporting.

  • Power strips and surge protectors

  • UPS (uninterruptible power supply) or battery backup units

  • Touch lamps

  • Battery chargers or AC adapters like those used for cell phone and laptop chargers, especially for older devices

  • Heavy rotating motors in devices like fans, refrigerators, freezers, or water pumps

  • Workshop equipment like a drill press, table saw, wood router, or planer

  • Electronic pest deterrents

  • Any older or failing compact fluorescent light (CFL) installed in your home—remove the CFL, then check to see if the reporting is restored
