Mike Gruber, I am thinking that we need to get out to that Connecticut Solar-Edge 
installation and make some 30 MHz radiated emissions measurements.   The devices 
probably don't exceed the limits for AC-mains conducted emissions <30 MHz, but 
they may exceed the radiated emissions limits above 30 MHz, which they are 
expected to meet.

Ed:

That's a wonderful idea. In addition to an evaluation, I think it would benefit us all if the ARRL would collaborate with the RF engineers at Solar Edge. I met them in person recently and they are open to suggestions. Tefford Reed is the senior engineer who assessed the RFI at my location and is now responsible for coming up with a solution.

His assessment was that their usual RFI suppression methods were not enough to eliminate the noise in my case which is why their looking at everything from improved RFI chokes to the infamous RFI absorbing foam.
