[RFI] Leased Solar Panels: Operator Responsibility?

Here is a link to something that is new to me, maybe new in general...

I don't recall seeing this before...  But it is damned interesting!

73s and thanks,

They are working on several houses surrounding a ham in Poway, CA (who has S9 +40dB RFI from the new SolarEdge systems that just went in near him).  They plan to correct the SolarEdge installations near me in two weeks.  It is great to finally see some activity from them.  Tefford told me to ask hams with SolarEdge RFI to contact him.
