First, let's be clear: solar panels do not have a direct effect on RF signals, but PV systems have the potential to interfere with signals. So, why would this problem arise? How should users (especially home users who install household distributed PV) deal with this problem?. This information is mainly aimed at reducing or eliminating radio, TV, cell phone, and other electronic noise and interference in photovoltaic and other DC powered systems and from equipment used in PV systems. Much of it applies to anything or any equipment with EMI (Electromagnetic Interference). . Television and reception technician Tony Navin says everyday items, including solar panels and electric fences, can interfere with the signal to digital televisions. "So, the TV aerial. . Modern photovoltaic (PV) panels are meticulously engineered for one primary purpose: to absorb as much sunlight as possible. Reflection is the enemy of efficiency. This has been highlighted by interference reported from PV installations (PVI) in the Netherlands, the United States, Sweden, etc.
