All:

Quick update regarding my RFI case with SolarEdge:

My neighbor contacted Tesla to negotiate the removal of his leased solar 
panels for various reasons, one of which being the RFI that's been 
affecting my station since 2016.

They said they would remove the system for the reasons he mentioned if 
he agreed to pay for the remainder of his 20 year contract which is 
about $24,000. They went on to say that the RFI issue is a "neighbor 
dispute" and neither Tesla or the manufacturer SolarEdge bear any 
responsibility for the interference.

There was no mention of FCC compliance or the fact that I filed a 
complaint with SolarEdge in 2016 which is on record with Tesla. To add 
insult to injury, I was told that Tesla has been dragging their feet for 
months before they act on a request from SolarEdge to provide a crew so 
that they can resolve the issue.

Needless to say, it's a shame there isn't any recourse to hold Tesla 
liable not acting in good faith. I filed a complaint with the FCC 
several months ago which I'm hoping will yield results.
