I've emailed engineering at SolarEdge, the Isreali company, regarding RFI which
is so synonymous with the solar power industry in general. I have never
received a reply from any of them. I strongly suspect they are acutely aware of
RFI
David:
I can tell you first hand that Solar Edge is well aware of the RFI
issues caused by their systems. I've been dealing with the company since
2016 and my case has yet to be resolved.
They denied any RFI issues with their equipment at the time, but years
later, after being presented with evidence which involved covering the
solar panels with tarps to demonstrate how the noise disappeared with
the system deactivated and how it reappeared when uncovered, they conceded.
So here we are 4 years later from complete denial to the ARRL handling
some 200 Solar Edge cases since then. We had three more cases pop up
here on Long Island so this is clearly the greatest threat to amateur
radio.
Unless we take this more seriously, I think it's only a matter of time
before the issue becomes so wide-spread that there's no way to put the
toothpaste back in the tube.
I've written the CTO of Solar Edge numerous times (see contact info
below) but that has had little effect on changing the design of their
systems.
