[RE-wrenches] Power line communications interference

[August Goers]

William,

You might try calling Enphase again. I was discussing a similar issue with
them recently and they said that they have a noise filter option for
handling noisy lines. As with all tech support, some representatives are
better than others.

Friends:

In the old days of the Sunny Boy Control Light we battled problems with
power line communications due to interference from external sources.  I am
now troubleshooting a problem with and Enphase Envoy.  I have spoken to
Tech Support several ties about this.  I was told I need to move the Envoy
out to the array, not an elegant solution.

Never once was it suggested that interference could be the problem but it
turns out when we turn off a pond pump the system communicates flawlessly.
Have any of you dealt with this?  If so, what have you done to remedy the
problem?
