[Elecraft] Noise from Solar System

[alan at elecraft.com]

I also had an Enphase system at my house and didn't notice any RF 
noise.  The Enphase system has a separate inverter for each panel. The 
other type of system wires all the panels in series, connected to a 
single inverter.  I believe those systems are more likely to generate RF 
noise.
