Your best bet is to visit a working system that will be installed
EXACTLY as your system will be with an FT-817, or such.
Remember parts change, vendors source parts from different locations all
the time, some devices are better than others, you get the picture...
If possible build RFI suppression into the contract, and set a date that
it has to be done by.
One company I know that actually cares about RFI, (at least today), is
Grape Solar. One of their engineers contacted me to assist in
de-noising two of their solar PV systems last week, and it was
PROACTIVE, not reactive. They wanted a plan that works, on hand in the
event of complaints! It was refreshing to see... I have another visit
coming up to assist in testing the filter the put together.
They did a presentation at my club and the engineer had cobbled together
some filtering and wanted to retest for RFI! He sounds like he is
headed for obtaining his ham ticket soon!
I helped them as much as I could, (got a bunch of RFI out of their setup
with ferrite, and twisted cabling), then did a referral to a fellow Jim,
(K9YC), suggested. I also shot them and the ARRL lab staff a letter of
introduction. So some companies actually care... Bring it up to your
vendor in advance.

I'm considering installing a Solar system and am concerned about equipment
(e.g. grid-tie inverter, charge controller, etc.) that is not compatible
with amateur radio - either causing RFI, or susceptible to interference from
my transmitter. Comments about equipment that is known to be OK or
problematical would be appreciated.
