Hopefully not as bad as the 2.3 MS Siemens wind turbines in New Zealand.
ZL6QH had to abandon a huge antenna farm because of RFI. Their noise
floor went up 50 dB on 80, and only a few of the planned turbines were
in operation. While not quite the same, solar and wind power systems
both use high frequency switching converters capable of generating lots
of RFI.
