I have install a gateway in an exterior equipment space outside of a straw
bale envelope once and wi-fi reception was no problem.
I think that every situation needs to be evaluated on it’s own, however.
Checking with a smart phone is a good start.

Drake,
I can't speak to your specific situation, but I live in a strawbale house and
have no problem getting a Wi-Fi signal outside within reasonable distance of
the router.
Thanks,
Will

Drake; How much chicken wire or other metal mesh is in the strawbale walls
and stucco? Can you measure wifi signal strength ahead of time with a
smartphone? Is it possible to hardwire Cat5 from the homeowner's
router/extender/etc to the WAN port of the IQ Gateway? That is always
preferable to wifi.
We are planning to combine Enphase circuits in an IQ combiner box, with
enclosed Gateway, on the outside of a straw bale house.
Will the WiFi signal penetrate a straw bale and the two layers of stucco
the wall is made of?
Thank you,
Drake

Dave,
The Thumper creates a high current, high voltage discharge. It uses a massive
capacitor bank that you connect to the conductors on one side. When it works
correctly, it'll cause a massive arc blast at the location of the fault.
Assuming the fault is underground, it'll cause a big thumping
