    I also have PON panels.  If you are using a PON AFCI/GFCI breaker and you look closely you will see that the breaker has both a black (hot) and behind it a white (neutral) wire plugged into each specific breaker itself.  So, if you follow the circuit, you will see the white and black wires terminate on the breaker and the ground on a separate ground bar.  As for having a neutral bar, you do have one, it’s running alongside the hot bus bar.  The breaker snaps onto it.  When you have a breaker, a normal breaker it is ‘shorter’ in length and you can then see the neutral bar which you would connect to.  The point being is the BLACK wire for the VUE2 and the white wire have to ‘tap’ into via the wire nuts into the same AFCI/GFCI breaker’s corresponding white/black wires.  Hope this helps.  I can post a picture if you would like that might help.

    Marty from Enphase Support has a great reply to a similar topic, and the key point is the ‘white’ neutral wire must be installed on the same GFCI/AFCI breaker as the ‘black’ line wire and of course make sure the white neutral is plugged into the breakers neutral connection, not just randomly on the neutral bar itself.  I ran into this issue tonight myself.  But after you follow this critical step, it works great.  The red wire can be connected anywhere and the blue wire onto any neutral bus.  The ‘magic’ is the black and white wire which powers the unit, again; same breaker and utilizing the neutral protection of that breaker.

    I ran into this today, and this thread helped me out.  Bought 2 VUE Gen 2’s (have 2 already existing) and they would not connect to the WiFi network until I set them to go for the ‘OPEN’ public guest network.  Once that was done, it connected, upgraded the firmware and after that I was able to change to a secured WiFi network.  All is well after following the above ‘process.’

    I just purchased your product from Amazon, and I would like to know the minimum load for your 50A CT’s?  Also, do you plan on offering lower amp CT’s that would, potentially, be more sensitive with a lower minimum?
