What are Powerline Adapters?

Powerline Adapters (PLA) are simple plug-and-play devices that allow you to extend your internet signal by utilizing your home's internal wiring rather than through Wi-Fi. For this reason, they are also referred to as "ethernet-over-power" devices (EOP).

The install is quick and easy!

1. Plug one PLA into your modem or router.
2. Connect the other PLA to your solar monitoring device.
   • The PLA must be directly connected to the wall socket, as it will use the home's internal wiring to communicate a data signal.
   • If you are installing PLAs due to connectivity issues, your system should come back online and resume communicating data as usual.

We recommend purchasing one of two PLA options:

• TP-Link AV1000 Powerline Starter Kit
• Zyxel AV1300 Powerline Starter Kit

Many LED lights on different PLA brands stand for the same things. See an example of what they stand for on TP Links, and how to troubleshoot PLAs.
