Enphase production data is patchy. Could it be power line noise?

The short answer
Yes, check PLC noise detection in the Installer App; move noisy devices, relocate the gateway or use filters or a dedicated circuit.

Plain explanation

From the Enphase manual for the IQ Gateway + micros: Installer App > Devices > IQ Gateway > Powerline Communication Noise Detection. Remove power strips/GFI/dimmers near gateway. 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.

Steps from the source

  1. Installer App > Devices > IQ Gateway > Powerline Communication Noise Detection
  2. Remove power strips/GFI/dimmers near gateway
  3. Relocate gateway
  4. Radius filter / ferrite rings
  5. Dedicated circuit by electrician
