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.
