Thanks for the kind words. Eight years is a long time, but I'm glad the 
issue was finally resolved. I'd still be waiting if it weren't for the 
ARRL so I'm very grateful for their help. Thankfully, Solar Edge has 
finally come up with a solution and that's great news for hams who are 
still waiting for a fix.

One thing about Solar Edge systems, especially those installed early on, 
is the consistency in the noise signature they produce. I learned this 
after posting a video that showed what the noise looked like across the 
HF spectrum. The response I received from other hams was that they were 
seeing the same signature produced by other Solar Edge installations. 
Randy, KQ6RS, was one of the first to send me spectral screenshots of 
the noise produced by his neighbors SE system which was consistent with 
what I recorded.

For those who might be interested, here's the link to my video:

And here's a link to Randy's (KQ6RS) video:

If you fast forward Randy's video to 5 minutes, 45 seconds, you'll see 
the similarities in the noise signatures. Randy gives a great 
presentation on this subject.
