I also have solar panels with micro-inverters that communicate over the internal electrical wiring - have you heard of issues caused by power line communications?

My System Blue was posted the other day so I'm getting myself organised in advance.

Ian, I used to use Ethernet over power adapters before I had a Blitzortung station, they caused huge amounts of RF noise across a wide spectrum and one of the first things I did was to give them away to someone who lived a good distance from me, I wouldn’t touch them again, I think a lot of radio amateurs have similar views on them.
I have also read of noise problems with solar inverters but don’t have any myself so cannot comment further.
