Hello John -

THe manufacturer is Solar Edge, I also believe that they

are the OEM of the problematic optimizer circuit. A re-designed version

is in the supply chain and the problem that their system presents can

be remedied - but with PV systems becoming a cottage industry (especially

in California) we will need real-time input from the field to keep harmful

interference problems in check. The important take-home from the

Solar Edge story, is that industry really worked well with the ARRL lab

(Mike and Ed) to solve the problem.

We are starting a cloning process in the lab, but we aren't

supposed to tell anyone.

Thanks for the kind words, I will pass your message along to the

Committee. See you in a few days !

GUD DX es 73,

    Who is the solar products manufacturer discussed under "Solar PV Systems"?

    And — please — could we all agree to number the pages in our reports to make it easier to discuss them? T

    What plans do we have to clone Mike Gruber or find a suitable replacement?

    Kermit, thanks to you and the EMC Committee for the extensive work, by the way.
