Maybe the tech folks at SolarEdge could provide some advice. They use ZigBee to communicate wirelessly with their inverters, and it has worked flawlessly in my experience.

I am installing a ground array for a customer who has a highly automated home. He calls tonight and says his automation contractor says that solar PV systems within 300 feet of the home will degrade the home automation communications which are Zigbee-based he says. I think it's the craziest thing I've ever heard… but he's paying and I need to look into this and get affirmative answers. My 10.8KW ground array will be 300 feet away (yes - accounting for voltage drop!) and connect at a load side meter box connection. Anybody hear anything like this? Can the DC flow of electrons really cause this degrading effect? Howard "Scot" Arey Solar CenTex 254-300-1228 "Use the Texas Sun!"
