Tony,

It is a crying shame you have to go through this... My wife and I were considering a move to Arizona. Among the reasons we did not move-- the number of solar installations in Arizona, there seems to be one or two, on every block.

I would rather fight the grow lights in Oregon, than the solar in Arizona, as there appears to be far more Solar installations in Arizona, than grow lights in Oregon.

Thank you for posting these updates, it helps others, and it has helped me to decide where to live... THANK YOU, and sorry you have to go through this...

73, and thanks,
Dave (NK7Z)

Quick update regarding my RFI case with SolarEdge:

My neighbor contacted Tesla to negotiate the removal of his leased solar panels for various reasons, one of which being the RFI that's been affecting my station since 2016.

They said they would remove the system for the reasons he mentioned if he agreed to pay for the remainder of his 20 year contract which is about $24,000. They went on to say that the RFI issue is a "neighbor dispute" and neither Tesla or the manufacturer SolarEdge bear any responsibility for the interference.

There was no mention of FCC compliance or the fact that I filed a complaint with SolarEdge in 2016 which is on record with Tesla. To add insult to injury, I was told that Tesla has been dragging their feet for months before they act on a request from SolarEdge to provide a crew so that they can resolve the issue.

Needless to say, it's a shame there isn't any recourse to hold Tesla liable not acting in good faith. I filed a complaint with the FCC several months ago which I'm hoping will yield results.
