NorCal resident thinking about installing 2 PW. Got 7000W on the roof. My solar installer is telling me that PW does not work well with Enphase and that frequencies are unstable. He is steering me toward a LG plus inverter.

Any feedback from this knowledgeable crowd?

I have enphase on one set of my panels and a fronius inverter for the other. I had 2 powerwalls installed a week ago and it works fine. What I did lose was being able to monitor the enphase from my last location. I had to move the envoy into the same room as the house circuit breaker box.It was the laundry room with no Ethernet access. I had to set up a wifi bridge to my computer but is works fine now. I live in northern CA.
 
I had 2 Powerwalls, 26 LG Neon R panels and 26 Enphase IQ7+s installed last year. The system works perfectly. There was a Powerwall inverter firmware issue early on that created a problem when the batteries were at 100%, the grid was down and the panels were producing current. That was solved by firmware updates.

It will work perfectly well with enphase. Only if you have a zero export system would this potentially be an issue.
