Hi Ed (AG6CS),

Given they are under construction, and not operational yet, I would document my RFI for reference later.

See:
https://www.nk7z.net/sdr-rfi-survey-p1/

This is a two part article on how to document your RFI, using a SDR.

This will allow you to see what the difference is between your now non Solar Powered world, and you post install world later.

73, and thanks,
Dave (NK7Z)

Have any of you had experience with CostCo’s solar offering, called “sunrun?” I see several 
installations underway in the neighborhood, apparently installed by “independent” contractors.

Thanks,

The question is: Who operates the system?  Under the FCC rules, the operate of 
a Part 15 device that meets the lmits in the rules is responsible for doing so in a 
way that doesn't cause harmful interference.

If the installer puts it in and it belongs to the homeowner, the homeowner is 
the sole operator.  If the installer or utility have some control over the 
system, they may be operators.  The manufacturer is responsible only for 
meeting the FCC limits, but especially in the case of Solar Edge, it has 
assumed most of this responsibility on behalf of its customers.

If the homeowner can turn it off, or made the decision to contract its 
installation and can remove the system or control whether it can be mitigated, 
then the homeowner is also an operator and thus responsible for harmful 
interference.

Who owns the SolarEdge HD Wave inverter?
My neighbor?
Or Trinity Solar the lease company?
Who is responsible for correcting the severe RFI that the SolarEdge HD Wave 
equipment is causing?
