[RFI] Leased Solar Panels: Operator Responsibility?

[David Eckhardt]

In the spirit of the FCC rules (I don't want to spend the time looking up
the legalize of the wording in 47 CFR), the FCC holds the "System
Integrator" responsible for the EMC/RFI solution.  If the equipment is
rented, the rentee is the entity that assembled the equipment from many
sources to offer, for rent, a complete solar system.  Therefore, the rentee
is responsible for the EMC/RFI solution.

I ain't no lawyer.  However, I've worked in the EMC/RFI field for some 30
years addressing and solving problems and regulatory issues in a world-wide
capacity.  I still consult in the field.
