[RFI] Solar Panel RFI

[Mike Ryan]

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...  -

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.
