[RFI] Noise from Generac Solar controllers?

[David Eckhardt]

IN further poking around on the FCC OET site under Generac, I can't find a
single report filed on anything except wireless hardware.  I could not
locate any complete systems which would include the panels, optimizers,
other electronic switching devices, and simulated house wiring.  There is
no evidence in the reports of any test results being filed with the FCC for
the entire system.  All the "Max Freq '' frequencies listed on the response
pages for a general search on Generac on the FCC OET pages reflect only
above roughly 700 MHz.  This tells me they are only filing for the
intentional radiator, that being ZigBee or BlueTooth or some other
protocol.  No complete *system test* is filed with FCC.  So, how can they
claim compliance to even Part 15, Subpart C (Intentional radiator), Class C
(industrial).  BTW:  Class C systems *do* require filing a test report with
FCC.  There is none.
