I am surrounded by numerous solar installations none of which appear to cause me any QRN.

Here is a link to an open facebook page with many photo's of less than ideal installations.

I wonder how much it has to do with the installers.

The level of quality installers. Both in workmanship as well as components?

Reason saying, is My Son works for a LARGE Solar system installer. And I asked him about this and he says they have never had an complaint yet. And they use Solar Edge Components. BUT they use the top of the line of their components also. and they cost a LOT! The panels are dirt cheap like 10% of the cost of a complete system. the rest of the support system is the BIG BUCKS.

Maybe these noisy systems are using the less expensive level parts?

In the picture below the upper right is my house, and the lower left is a LARGE system he installed this spring. IT"s BIG,

Two rows of panels each 16 feet high and 120 feet wide.

And there has been zero noise floor issues.  And this site is QUIET!!!!

I turn the radio off in disgust if my S meter does not sit at S-0 where there is no signals.

The only noise source I have is my own stinking plasma TV.
