[RFI] EU improving solar RFI standards

[Gary Johnson]

I joined RSGB mainly because I think RadCom is generally superior to QST. One of their monthly columns is devoted to EMC. In the December edition, they reported on progress in EU standards that apply to photovoltaic systems. Specifically, standard EN 55011:2016/A11:2020, which is the latest revision, now addresses emissions from the *DC* power ports of inverters that are connected to the grid. This is a major change, and was in response to work by IARU. Good to see some progress in this area, and hopefully something along these lines spreads across the Atlantic. By the way, I didn’t know it but there is a European Commission for EMC market surveillance. They actively test products on the market and work to have non-compliant ones banished.
