Hi there...Thanks for making a post. I dont have access to that article in ARRL unfortunately, but I will have a look for it and see if I can find it outwith ARRL. I was looking for David Lauders article in Oct 2023 Radcom also, but RSGB have website issues and Im having difficulty getting that also. I generally dont have any local RFI issues to worry about as Im very rural....I have had zero noise floor and very little unmanageable RFI for 13 years. Thats what makes this situation so gutting.... from zero to 80% of HF wiped out over night. My spectrum scope on the IC7600 now has 4khz wide blank carrier spikes that are S9+15dB, every 30khz from 8Mhz to somewhere over 30 Mhz (although I suspect it goes a bit higher, I just dont have resonant antennas between 30Mhz and 2m band to see how far up it goes)Growatt where pulled up in Sweden for non compliance regarding EMC. I dont know what model it was but it was published online....PV MagazineThe Dutch seem to be a bit more proactive in addressing Solar PV EMC Issues also, stating that MOST Inverters do not meet the EMC standards... HEREIf you are getting RFI on your own system then tracking down the leak path and sticking in a few dedicated EMC filters shouldnt be too difficult. You dont have to live with your solar RFI.EDIT - Found a pdf online. Interesting read, however his sytem was using optimizers. In my case the system has none, and is simply a very dirty inverter.
