Pfsense <-> solaredge
-
What can i do ?
Today i had to reboot PFSense again, because of the connection between de invertor and the portal is gone ;( -
The only idea that comes to my mind is to monitor the traffic from the solaredge device with something like wireshark on a dump switch with something like a raspberry.
I have a solaredge device running which does not show any problems till now.
From the thread I have not seen if
- the se stops sending
- the portal refuses to receive
- pfsense is blocking.
(but I may have overlooked it)

@hbauer: and what is the configuration of you pfsense ( incl pfblockerNG etc ?
-
I have nothing special and no pfblocker. I just wanted to advice to try it without pfblocker. I have not seen in the thread the information that this was already tested. Sorry if I overlooked that.
-
still unsolved, and had to reboot PFSense every 3 day's .
After the reboot everything is running fine for the next 3 days ;(
So what could be the next step to troubleshoot this please ? -

Get a real (as in someone who has an actual education in the field) network technican to do on location troubleshooting.

have you tried without pfblocker?

I recall I had a similar problem on my Solar Edge. Ultimately I did not have time to deal with the cable (Long 300ft run) and trouble-shooting, so I installed a TP-LINK Pharos system, basically a wifi point to point system, except I only used 1/2 of the system and pointed it towards my house, used the TP-Link gui to attach it to the wifi system in the house and it has worked flawlessly for a year now. You can buy the Pharos with 2.4 or 5GHZ, they are older units now but I just bought a backup unit (They normally come in pairs as they are designed to send point to point data from site a to site b and vice versa. Of course my inverters are located about 250 feet from the house on a solar array that is on a ground rack system. So basically you should be able to come out via cat5/6 cable to a wifi extender and make it work. Assuming that your connector is functioning correctly.

If you're still having this issue I would go back to a very basic setup. No pfBlocker, no other packages. Check again. One of those things must be causing this problem.
