[RFI] RFI from solar system and inverters ....sma inverters

[Bill Steffey]

Hi Bill,

from my QRZ site you can see my 10KW installation out in the yard. ( 
zzzom in on the detail satellite map page pix)

The SolarWorld panels connect to 2     5 KW SMA inverters,,, 5000TL 
which are transformerless. These replaced 2  # 5000 units which became 
damaged with a nearby lightning strike, induced into the long data 
lines. I replaced the data lines with a wifi link eliminating the long 
""antenna" into my data network.

Prior to purchase I took my kenwood tf6a on broadcast band ( it has 
builtin loop ant)  and visited two sites with the proposed equipment. 
ONLY when I got within INCHES of the SMA units, did I hear anything.

The German designed units are QUITE QUIET. I'm beginning to think the CE 
certification must mean something, as opposed to the meaningless FCC mark.

When there is a quiet unit available, why not use that one ????
