John,

I have a 5.4kW array of 15 panels on the south-facing roofs of my house. They use Enphase microinverters, so they put out 240VAC which is synced to the 60Hz signal from my electrical provider (we are on net metering), so there is no 'house' inverter.

You can see the output from my array here:

I have had ZERO RFI from this installation. We have a local radio club member that has done extensive work with solar on his house, and had experimented with a couple of panels and Enphase microinverters before committing to a roof-full of them. He also has another array which is DC, and connected to a DIY Solar inverter. DIY Solar is owned by a ham, and his inverters are very quiet, also.

Hope that helps.

I am planning to install Solar on my house. Any experience you have had regarding the inverter as an amateur radio noise source would be of real interest. Noise may vary by Mfg or by inverters at each panel on the roof vs one system inverter near my basement. My antenna is a Hex beam an the
solar system would be about 15' away.
