And even what is not connected to the system, but nearby.  Any radiation from 
the system can be capacitively coupled or induced in nearby wiring and 
re-radiated.  Grounds can be resonant or not resonant.  EMC is still magic. 😊

All:

The reports I've read suggest that the strength of interference caused by solar 
panel systems can vary from one installation to the next EVEN when the distance 
to the source is similar. That variation could be attributed to radiating 
conductors tied to the system such as the house wiring.

We found high levels of RFI on the A/C lines throughout my neighbors home and 
that's likely the case with all Solar Edge installations since there are no 
chokes between the mains and inverter.

Given those facts, would a large home with long runs of un-shielded Romex 
produce higher levels of interference compared to a smaller home with shorter 
runs? Or does the resonance of the wiring play more of a role than length and 
number of runs?

It's an oversimplification, but it seems logical to consider what's connected 
to system and not just the system itself.
