All:

Solar Edge shut down my neighbors solar panel system to test for RFI this week. The strength of the noise dropped, but it's still detectable. I'm told that the inverter and optimizers are inactive which my neighbor confirmed.

The problem with this test is that the power supplies within the optimizers remain active since they receive their power from the solar panels. The noise is also typical of the type generated by switching power supplies.

The next logical step would be to disconnect the power supplies from each solar panel to see if the noise goes away. It's something I've asked Solar Edge to do for some time now.

Before I make that request, does anyone have any thoughts on what else could be generating noise with the system turned off?
