QS-017 · Grid voltage & grid connection

Enphase micro LED flashing red. Grid problem?

The short answer
Yes: grid absent or out of spec. Check AC breakers and utility voltage, then measure.

Plain explanation

From the Enphase manual for the IQ8 microinverter: Check AC breakers closed. Utility voltage in range. The rest of the checklist is below; work through it in order. Installer only: DC and AC work on a live PV system is dangerous, so owners should note the code and call their installer. Grid limits depend on your country, so check your national code and grid operator rules.
