[SADXA] RFI PROBLEM

[Gail N7BXX]

Do we know if the solar panels produce more or less interference when the sun is shining or at night?  Is there any difference?  Gail

You need to start documenting everything.  This is a widely reported issue and 
only going to get worse as these things proliferate.  Sign up for the mailing 
list http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/rfi and follow along.  Check 
their archives too.  Check out http://www.arrl.org/radio-frequency-interference-rfi

TEP isn't going to fix anything. Ultimately, it's the operator of the 
interfering equipment who is responsible.  These are going to be your 
neighbors.  Remain calm. Some guys are wanting to sue Solar Edge, seemingly the 
worst, but I hear they are actually trying to remedy the issue.  The other 
biggie is  Solar City aka. Elon Musk. I won't comment on his business model.
