You are VERY FORTUNATE in the US to have an FCC willing to even consider your
Solar Array complaint.
I would hope you will not 'Just live with it' as it is an insult to those of us
who have no or very little official RFI support from our agencies.
In Canada, there is very little hope for a ham or ANY RADIO listener who is
deprived their rights due to harmful interference etc. We have lost the actual
RFI policy ! Even licensed AM BC band stations have realized the lack of
support from our (formally) Industry Canada for RFI from SMPS etc has led them
to make FM band applications. Looking for other solutions -EXCEPT ones that
actually FIX the problem! That's the Canadian way!
Our regulating agency has no budget, nor do they have the desire to deal with
any interference issues unless they affect Air/Navigation or Police/Safety
communication.... The fact that your FCC actually will consider acting on your
complaint is something EVERY US HAM or SWL etc, should be using to full
advantage. Leaving it for the "other guy", or expecting no action is the road
to less support and expanding problems.
Please use the FCC ! It may filter down to us in Canada by way of device noise
limits or import changes etc..
Do NOT let live with it....at least file the complaint on all three
properties...I would LOVE to have just the opportunity to file a complaint and
know it is being examined- regardless of outcome. Don't take that right for
granted!
If you cant be bothered, find a local ham who will on your behalf. Otherwise,
don't complain about it.

To live with it is your choice.
Or you could do your home work, file a complaint, contact Ms
Chen at the
FCC if you do believe you have a solar array interference
issue.
I expect the "live with" approach is why the FCC told me
that they were
unaware of any solar array interference issues until I filed
a complaint.
Just guessing here, but I would expect this to become a
manufacturer's
issue and not the homeowner that has the array. Let's hope
for an FCC
mandated recall.
Please see ns6q.net/exams for all the details about out
exams...
