It looks like we will be getting a 2 MW solar farm on Mill Branch Road just east of 301 in Bowie. A couple of hundred yards from my house. I already have noise from my neighbors' solar installations. I may have to take up crochetting.

Thank you for the info on the coming solar farm.  We need to find out who the equipment manufactor is so we can keep on top of the possible RFI.

If your neighbor has Solar Edge equipment, I have the contact info for the Solar Edge Technical Manager.  He was able to fix the system on my neighbors house and eliminated the RFI problem from there.  I believe he also took care of Rick-AB3XJ's RFI problem.  So, your RFI can be cured.

Solar panel & their inverters can cause severe RFI if improperly installed.  We Hams must be diligent and root out RFI offenders.
