Hi all. I am contemplating having a ?PowerHome Solar? power system installed at my house, and am a little concerned about possible RF noise generation from the system. This system uses a Generac co
Ken: I know of several hams who are experiencing RFI caused by Generac home solar. In each case, the interference turned out to be emanating from a neighbors installation. In one particular case, Mar

It is correct that the FCC has no regulations specific to the solar industry. We really don't want them to write any, because FCC has a propensity to relaxing regulations. In Part 15, for example, th

Sure, David, I will chime in. You are wrong. The exemptions in Sec 15.103 talk about utility equipment, but any device installed in subscriber premises is not exempt. Solar systems are Part 15 uninte
"If solar systems were included in the rules, there is always a risk that they would be lumped in the same category." How about focusing on rule(s) that: 1. Applies. 2. Matters. 3. Done correctly. ..
Solar systems are not appliances. Here are some excerpts from the rules: 15.103 Exempted devices. The following devices are subject only to the general conditions of operation in §§ 15.5<https://www.
