Flickering LEDs after solar install.

Maybe its not relevant to my solar installation but my LEDs start flickering after solar installation. Is it relevant or my leds start to dying? Its not one room and not always. It will start flicker for few minutes then stop and it will start again randomly.
Givenergy 3.6 gen1 hybrid inverter + 5kW battery.
My miss don't see any issue but that its annoying for me. Regards

Interesting. One of my LED bulbs has started flickering some times. It is on a dimmer. Some days it works fine, other days it flickers or more accurately flashes. It did start happening after our solar install but I thought it was probably a coincidence and it was starting to fail.

I also had problems with my broadband dropping connection about once a day whereas before it was solidly connected for months. I fixed that by adding a clamp on ferrite core ring to the power cable of my ADLS modem and tided up the phone cable to keep it way from the mains wiring. I figured that the mains is probably more noisy when coming from an inverter.

I should have a look at the mains waveform on my oscilloscope sometime. I do have a high voltage probe for it. I also have a spectrum analyser.

I'm sorry but that was really confusing, wondering what LEDs you mean. It took me some time to figure out that you mean house lights/bulb, that are LED.

What I would suggest is check your inverters records for grid voltage. See if you have any low or high points. You can check the frequency while you are there, but I don't think that will be such an issue.
