James:

The System on the house with the pool was installed years prior to the solar 
edge system that’s causing RFI. It’s a Vivint system and it doesn’t produce any 
RFI. There are several houses with solar panel systems within a block or two 
and they are also quiet.

Solar Edge tells me they’ve had 200 RFI complaints so far so that should tell 
you something. Thankfully most of them have been resolved.
