Well, it appears there is no authority.  These companies have the free run to 
do what ever they want and nobody is going to stop them except bad publicity 
and that is not easy unless it’s airbag failures in automobiles, even then it’s 
 going to take a long time for resolutions.   

This is sort of like anything goes.  Nobody is in charge.  

Good luck.

Part 15 seems really clear but that doesn't seem to make any difference to 
solar Edge.

If I am recalling correctly, the Fcc does not include any specifications for 
radiated emissions below 30 mhz and leave it to "well engineering practice."  
But that is never defined.

Wondering what they are going to knock down from S9+40 to what, nothing or 
something less than?

Also wondering if the FCC is kept informed of this?

Your spectrum plots look just like SolarEdge RFI does.

I just met with a SolarEdge engineer.  His contact information is Tefford Reed 
<Tefford.Reed@solaredge.com <mailto:Tefford.Reed@solaredge.com>>.  They are 
working on several houses surrounding a ham in Poway, CA (who has S9 +40dB RFI 
from the new SolarEdge systems that just went in near him).  They plan to 
correct the SolarEdge installations near me in two weeks.  It is great to 
finally see some activity from them.  Tefford told me to ask hams with 
SolarEdge RFI to contact him.

The tarp solution should work. My neighbors SolarEge system goes quiet at night 
when the panels are inactive. The attached screenshots show the difference 
between the daytime RFI noise level and the nighttime noise level.
