We are considering installing some PV to reduce our electric bills.  
Does anyone have any experience or knowledge about RFI from SolarWorld 
panels and enphaseenergy.com inverters or solar panels and inverters in 
general?

The fact sheet at the enphaseenergy web site says only that the devices 
are Part 15 Class B compliant.  Class B devices appear to be checked 
only for RFI more than 10 meters from the device.    In addition to the 
inverter itself, there is also some sort of 'Powerline' communication 
over house power lines so as to get the inverters connectivity to the 
internet.  There is a converter device that plugs into a AC outlet and 
into our router.
