Ken,

It’d appear to me he answered your question as worded. Your intention was to 
ask about mitigation of RFI that may be generated by the solar installation. 
You did not specify that, asking only about RFI in general. He appears to have 
interpreted your question as “Does the solar installation suffer from RFI that 
may be generated in its vicinity?” You may want to reword your question and try 
again.
