[RFI] Solar Systems

We are seriously considering going to a solar power generation system on our 
house.  It will be a zero grid access system.

Both contractors we have talked to, so far, have 'assured' me there will be 
no interference with my amateur radio operations....BUT...

I don't trust what they say.  Both times, when I asked about RFI, they had 
to 'Get back to me'...'nother words, they had no clue what RFI was, or what 
I was talking about, assuring me there would be interference to my TV/home 
theater system...In fact, one salesman said to me, with a straight face, 
after I tried to explain the concept of amateur radio to him, that I 
couldn't attach my roof top tower to any of the solar panels.....DUH......

So..I turn to here...What are any RFI issues I might encounter and what have 
folks done to overcome those issues?

Thanks in advance!
