[RFI] Solar Panel Inverters

[jimk8mr at aol.com]

Thanks for all the responses.  I had gone back several months in the archives, but apparently did not go quite far enough!

This will be at my daughter's house in New Jersey, so I won't be around to supervise the installation. They have not yet signed a contract, so I'm hoping to get past that with no horrific choices embedded.

what equipment they're using. The big problem is incorrect installation
(essentailly creating a big loop antenna), though I do believe there are
micro-inverters that are unreasonably noisy.
