Inverters not reporting to gateway

[RobtheGreat]

Anyone else run into a situation where the inverters just stop reporting to the gateway? everything was working fine, no changes made, and now suddenly it's like the gateway is pretending they don't exist, the panels are still producing, but no data is coming through, wondering if it's a comms issue or if the gateway itself is acting up. anyone dealt with something similar and what the fix ended up being.

So this happened suddenly or you've noticed it before? I know a few people that had problems with their plc from various devices that create a noise and the communication seems to drop. Try unplugging a device you recently purchased or try some at random to see if the comms is back.

Could be a comms dropout or the gateway firmware behaving funny, try rebooting the gateway and checking the signal integrity between devices

Absolutely, I've experienced that too. A couple of years ago, I set up a small ground-mount system at a friend's workshop. Out of the blue, the inverters stopped reporting, even though they were still generating power. It turned out that a new LED shop light was causing interference on the PLC line and messing up the communications. Once I unplugged it, everything came back online
