If there are any errors in the article, Jim, let me know what they are and we 
can see if it merits a Feedback.  Or I may see it differently than you. :-)

I had a nasty (still unresolved) fight with a neighbor several years ago over 
his solar panels, batteries, and inverter system. I got the FCC involved who 
wrote the guy a letter. He thought that I forged the letter at first, then went 
door to door in the neighborhood trying to put pressure on me through the other 
neighbors since I was the BULLY of the neighborhood. 
What a mess...  The bottom line is that the END USER of these devices is 
responsible for their operation. You can't get the FCC to go to the 
manufacturer and get help. The Regs don't read that way. FAIR RITE products 
(mix 31 and 43 I would suspect) would help if you got the opportunity to apply 
them....IF you got the opportunity to apply them, to the cables in the system.  
I'll be watching to see how this resolves itself. Good luck...  - Mike

Not necessarily -- depending on the system architecture, it could be the charge 
controller, because you only hear it during the hours when the panels are 
generating energy. Yes, by all means study the QST article.
Not everything in it is right, but most of it is.
