Greetings o' wize ones of things that go zap and zorch.
Our little old mill town west of Boston is considering putting a 1MW PV (solar electric) generating site on top of our old closed town dump...OK to be PC our old closed "Sanitary Landfill". Now while I'm quite in favor of this idea, and did vote in favor of the feasability study at Town Meeting last night, I have some concerns living a couple of hundred yards away from the site that the inverters set up to convert the DC power of the panels to AC power out on the grid could be a large source of RF noise on HF getting into my BA RX units. (see I'm sorta OT!) I know that the power connection to the grid will need to be well regulated and synced but am concerned with the possible radation of noise in the gear between the panels and the grid. Any of you out there have any experiance with this in your part of the world? If so give me your horror stories or other info!
Thanks
