This article is way above my pay grade, but does show that Si panels create RF noise. How much above the top frequency limit of 100Khz shown in the chart may or may not be a problem. However, put enough panels together and perhaps it is.

It wouldn't seem to be too difficult to measure a plain panel with an E-field sensor or antenna on a spectrum analyzer.

There was a recent RFI group exchange on this list regarding possible ways that the cells themselves could create some RFI issues. But I don't think this was based on anyone's findings in the field.?? Just speculation.

Ed:

SolarEdge engineers discovered that the panels themselves were generating RFI at several locations. The noise was detected while the panels were disconnected from the system.
