[RFI] SolarEdge HD Wave panel system RFI

[KD7JYK DM09]

"Well I finally heard from Trinty Solar ( the installer) about the 
neighbors SolarEdge HD Wave panel system RFI correction. I have ask for 
RFI correction from the first day it was installed on 22 January  2022. 
SolarEdge will supply redesigned optimizers and ferites for the RFI 
correction at no charge. BUT Trinty Solar says there is a charge TO ME 
for the labor of $1060. 8 hours work at $125 an hour plus tax. Is this 
how poorly designed Solar panel systems get corrected? It's not my 
system and it's not my design error so why is the corrective cost my 
charge?"

Clearly a scam in the hope you are stupid enough to pay.

Send the invoice back with a copy of the CFR stating RFI must be 
resolved by the owner/operator, or operation must cease.  Write across 
it, "I am not the owner".  No more, no less, let them figure it out.

I once received a parking ticket for parking in front of a business, 
with a "for sale" sign on my car.  The citation was for something along 
the lines of selling vehicles on a public road, blocking parking for 
businesses, et cetera.  Through social engineering, I learned the 
manager at the business I was parked in front of fussed, something about 
"preventing customers from parking at the business, 'cuz some guy is 
selling a car".  Yeah, on a public road...

I sent the citation back with a copy of the code, which stated, "For the 
primary purpose of selling...", with a note, "The primary purpose was 
engaging in business, the vehicle happens to be for sale".  No response 
from the city.  I ignored the citation.  Nothing further happened.

A year or so later, I had a new/used sports car.  I went to the business 
where the previous vehicle was parked, and had them give me an estimate 
for new alloy wheels, Z-rated tires, alignment, high-end shocks, 
bushings, exhaust, the works.  A few kilo-bucks worth parts and labor. 
It was all written up, "sign here"...

Thanks.  I'll pass.  "Is there a problem?",  "May I speak to the manager 
please?"  The manager came out, a few service writers, and at least a 
half dozen customers were present.  I explained the issue with the 
citation, the fine of which was all of $10.  I handed the work invoice 
back to him, and explained that that's what it cost his business today, 
not counting all business from me for eternity, and everyone else I 
tell- forever, then walked out.

Ignorance is not without consequence.

Your other option is to know you aren't responsible for someone else's 
work they are required to perform at their expense per regulation, 
ignore it, let it evolve into an annoyance (remember, YOU are the 
victim), then you have numerous legal options.  I'd start with adding 
three zeroes to their invoice, and sending it back to them as yours, for 
dealing with them.
