[RFI] Question for the group...

If your neighbor's system is from Generac, that's very bad news. Several 
of my nearby neighbors have Enphase and AP Systems microinverter 
systems, from which I've detected no RFI. The neighbor immediately next 
door, 60 feet from my tower, as well as my own Enphase system, have 
single-turn ferrite chokes on the wiring, but I don't know if that was 
necessary.

As far as Part 15, there is that note: "...may not cause harmful 
interference." Does that apply to devices which have no AC line 
connections, and hence no conducted emissions limit?

73,
