With a lot of luck, the company that claimed the panels make the noise, 
rather than associated electronics will NOT ask each individual person, 
to "prove it" (that their claims are incorrect), per panel, per 
instance.  We know it's the optimizers, they claim "No".  They claim 
panels, no doubt lining up an absurd amount of research almost nobody is 
willing to spend time, and effort on, so WE can claim, "No", in 
response, with an ability to prove it.  Of course since the blame is 
being put upon deviant liars (based upon their own words, and actions), 
who in the end, can just say, "Whoops.  Sorry.", then find other 
distractions, and ways to shift blame, while wasting time, it will fully 
be at our time, and expense, while they just blow it off, leaving us 
where we often are now, dreaming for otherwise, while secretly hoping 
they didn't just see the post of "The solar cells themselves produce 
miniscule levels of noise", as stated by those that have done research 
in the past.  They put themselves into a really, REALLY good position!

Save your research, Dennis, almost every Ham near a panel will most 
likely need your notes, regardless of the actual source of noise, even 
if only to rule it out...

Have any DC to Daylight RF spectrograms of panel outputs?  Although a 
picture is worth a thousand words, it can save a thousand hours of BS. 
"It's panels!".  "No, it's probably not, here's a pic..." (How to 
counter corporate BS in a single sentence).
