Powerline

Sterlingtimes

I suspect that I am getting some interference across two powerlne systems in my house.

Firstly, each 14 solar panels has its own powerline circuitry in an associated inverter. The 14 inverters are connected to a single hub which in turn is connected to my router.

Secondly, my son has purchased a bang up to date Develo system which plugs into the same router.

I suspect that the Develop is knocking out my solar measuring system. I have tried with some success plugging the solar hub into a separate electric socket (i.e. not into the Develop through powerplug).

Is there any logic in thinking that one system may interfere with the other?

The obvious answer it to only run one system and see if it works, if it does, introduce the second system. If it fails Remove the second system and introduce the third system.

If non if the systems work with each other remove the first system, and see if system 2 & 3 work together.

I know very little about powerline adaptors, but I had a quick look at the Develo website.

It seems that their powerline adaptors can be used by consumers, or for the "smart grid" (with a picture of solar panels and a wind turbine):

So, it looks like you have two conflicting systems.

As I say, I don't know much about powerline stuff, but do they have web interfaces where you can change settings? Maybe you can configure the two systems to work together on the same network?

If not, can you extend your existing powerline system to replace whatever features your son wanted from the Develo...?

why do you just not get one type of adapter?

Running data over mains wiring is a bodge at best. Have you considered running proper network cabling? I recently ran cables for IP CCTV and it's not hard.

Not to mention that any HAM radio enthusiast within a half mile radius, will hate your guts.

I recently installed a powerline network at home, to get a connection for my IP cameras in my garage.

The thing you have to remember is to keep the adaptors on the same ring main OR have one as close as possible to the consumer unit.

Thank you. Believe me, I hate powerline. I had not realised that Enphase solar incorporated powerline technology. One's roof becomes a transmitter station.

The Develo is of the sort that plugs into a socket outlet with another socket outlet on the Develo itself. It seems that if I plug the Enphase hub into the Develo socket outlet, the Enphase hub is knocked for six. I have resolved now by plugging into a separate socket outlet and running a long ethernet cable from the router to the Enphase hub.

Problem solved, thank you all.
