Hi Tony.

Tnx for the info on no filing date for a complaint.

Seems as if the FCC is getting to be more on the side of the consume rather than that of the manufacturer.

I would suggest that you file your complaint with the FCC just in case there is a "too late to file" date.

I phoned the FCC today and they assured me that there are no time limits when filing a complaint. They did say to document the timeline and all communications with Solar City which I have done.

Thanks for pointing that out.

Ninety day after your complaint, and you're getting the "we're still looking into it" brush off, methinks solar city is hoping you will just go away.

In too tightly regulated California, under the radar remarks have been made by the various solar installers about "any* bad press might ding their business model.

Fwiw, SC gave up on Nevada installs very quickly after the various Nevada p & l's lowered their kw per hour rate.

T'was in our local paper that SC stated there just wasn't any money to be made, so they broke camp and left town so to speak.

All:

No word from Solar City regarding the Solar Panel RFI interference case I filed with them on August 8th of this year. I've been in touch with their representatives periodically who say that they are still looking into the matter. The last contact was a month ago and the case is now 3 months old.

I provided Solar City with Tony-Brock Fisher's QST article on how to suppress solar panel RFI and also put them in touch with experts in the field. The most offensive noise comes on when the solar panels are lit by the Sun which is most likely caused by the solar panel Optimizers as described in Tony's article.

At this point, I'm not sure if it pays to file a complaint with the FCC or let the situation play out.
