Hi, I've got a system using a PowerLinc Modem, about 15 Insteon devices and run by Indigo on a Mac Mini.
It's run solid for years but recently my neighbors installed a sizable array of solar panels on their roof. After the install many of the lights in the house now flicker when dimmed to a low setting. When nighttime comes the flickering stops. Daylight arrives, the flickering returns. This did not happen prior to installation of their solar installation so there is at least a strong correllation.
The inverter for their solar system is mounted on the N side of their house which is about 20 feet away from where our PLM and server are located. My assumption is that their solar inverter is causing interference to our Insteon system during the time it is processing AC energy from the solar panels, then once it is dark the interference stops since the inverter is no longer managing the current from the panels.
Has anybody else experienced such a problem or know of a possible solution?
New to this forum and thanks in advance for any help!
