All:
Dayton seems to be a good place to inform hams about solar panel RFI and
it's potential for wide-spread interference. With 400 cases and counting
handled by the ARRL and FCC regulations that carry little weight, this
subject needs to be addressed.
Companies like Kenwood, Elecraft and others as well as tower and antenna
manufactures should be made aware of the potential impact on equipment
sales. They need to get on board with the ARRL and push-back on
manufactures who continue to install horrendously noisy solar installations.
A petition requesting the FCC to act with regard to solar panel RFI is
long overdue. As Ed Hare has mentioned, solar systems along with the
wires attached to inverters and optimizers do not have specific
emissions limits. Ed also points out that this needs to be addressed and
that those kinds of changes to emissions limits are going to take YEARS
to resolve.
The FCC needs to hear from 700,000 U.S. hams before things gets out of
hand with solar installations. The ARRL can't do it all.
