Kermit Indentured servitude is another option. There is also another attack on bad solar installations. Besides the equipment, there is a problem with the installers, some of whom are effectively high pressure car salesmen who use unskilled labor to perform the installations. Neither the company owners nor the installers have a clue. We can discuss at meeting. 73 _______________________________________ John Robert Stratton N5AUS Vice Director Legislative Director West Gulf Division Office:512-445-6262 Cell:512-426-2028 P.O.

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 !

Kermit
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.
