In all cases, I heard no noise right up to perimeter of the facility, although 
walking around most of them would have entailed trespassing onto posted land.

One of them was not posted, so I walked around and in the back, where the 
inverters were, I heard about an S3 noise right at the fence, maybe 30 feet 
from the transformer.

Yes, Ed, it can be done!!!!  The installation at DIA in Denver is pretty clean.

Steve Anderson, W1EMI, is ARRL's RFI engineer.  In his previous life, he was 
involved in solar-farm siting projects, so I am sure he can help.

I have externally visited 4 different local farms and found them to be 
surprisingly RF quiet.  That is no guarantee for the future, but it is 
encouraging.

The Dever airport, DIA, has a large solar farm.  As best I can tell with 
several trips in and out of the airport, it produces no or minimal RFI.  I 
don't know who did the install, but it is clean.  You might contact DIA to 
determine who did the install and what rules they were under.
