[RFI] Solar Panel RFI Update From K2MO

All:

Some of you may recall that I've been experiencing RFI from a neighbors 
SolarEdge solar panel installation since 2016. In April of this year, I 
received a phone call from SolarEdge to inform me that they were going 
to install their new RFI-Free Optimizers ASAP. The crew finally showed 
up on July 9th to remove the solar panels and the Optimizers and said 
they'd be back in a week to install the new units.

In the interim, we've had NO RFI since the system was dismantled and 
removed and it's the first time in 8 years since we've been able to work 
HF during the day! Needless to say, I'm hoping the new components will 
solve the problem.

I should mention that the work would have been done months ago, but 
SolarEdge couldn't get permission from Tesla (the lease company) to do 
the installation. I reached out to Steve Anderson, W1EMI at the ARRL and 
he somehow got the attention of Tesla which thankfully got the ball 
rolling.

I'll let the group know how things go once the new components are 
installed.
