More correctly, "Some" panels "may" create RFI and that appears to be
related to batches from specific fabricators.
I would think it might be possible to create an antenna, SA combination
to "Preview" new panels before they are connecte, but exposed to bright
sunlight.
However, based on what I've read so far the problem cells come from a
specific fabricator and may be used in several brands of panels. Based
on that, I'd think noisy panels (cells) might be uncommon, but certainly
worth evaluating panels before connecting.
So far, I've found nothing indicating the actual near field signal
strength of these faulty panels

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.
