Here is a link to something that is new to me, maybe new in general...

http://www.arrl.org/part-15-radio-frequency-devices

I don't recall seeing this before...  But it is damned interesting!

73s and thanks,

If I am recalling correctly, the Fcc does not include any specifications for radiated emissions below 30 mhz and leave it to "well engineering practice."  But that is never defined.

Wondering what they are going to knock down from S9+40 to what, nothing or 
something less than?

Also wondering if the FCC is kept informed of this?

Your spectrum plots look just like SolarEdge RFI does.

I just met with a SolarEdge engineer.  His contact information is Tefford Reed 
<Tefford.Reed@solaredge.com>.  They are working on several houses surrounding a ham in Poway, CA 
(who has S9 +40dB RFI from the new SolarEdge systems that just went in near him).  They plan to correct 
the SolarEdge installations near me in two weeks.  It is great to finally see some activity from 
them.  Tefford told me to ask hams with SolarEdge RFI to contact him.

Randy:
In this case the solar panels could be covered with dark tarps to stop
their interference.  They can stay covered until SolarEdge comes out
and fixes that system. Randy KQ6RS

The tarp solution should work. My neighbors SolarEge system goes quiet at night 
when the panels are inactive. The attached screenshots show the difference 
between the daytime RFI noise level and the nighttime noise level.
