Low-Bandwidth Reporting Mode
Systems with the Enphase Mobile Connect cellular modem use low-bandwidth reporting mode. This means that the system reports data in 15-minute intervals four times per day, at 3 am (03:00), 9 am (09:00), 3 pm (15:00), and 9 pm (21:00) local time.
When looking at the power graph for a system with low-bandwidth reporting, you will see a blue dashed line across the bottom, which represents pending data. The dashed line starts at the time the Envoy last reported data, and extends to the current time. When you hover over the dashed line, a tooltip explains why the data is not present and displays the next expected report time.
