Hi Hugh
I don't know the laws there. But here in Canada, if someone where to do
that they would need to ensure the installation did not cause harmful
radio interference. I'd talk with her and make it very clear you're not
going to tolerate harmful interference and if she wants to do this she
had better be willing to mitigate the noise issue for you or be prepared
to spend all the money she's saving on defending her 'free' power in court.
Interference complaints can work both ways. You have a right to enjoy
your property and if that came with a low noise floor fight to protect
it. You won't be the last to fight this one...

Greetings to the LF group,
My neighbour informs me that she is intending to have photovoltaic
panels installed on her roof, in a scheme where she gets free
electricity (all subsidised by the government of course!)
My concern is the possibility of high levels of interference generated
by the kW inverters needed to pump electricity back into the National
Grid. I would guess that such invertors probably operate kHz and might
be expected to interfere with LF and VLF reception. The wiring to all
the panels on the roof might act as a very good aerial!
It also occurs to me that any lack of RF immunity to my transmissions,
in the new installation, might have dramatic consequences - I know
from studying electrical engineering at college that connecting a
generator to the grid with incorrect phase leads to a big bang!
Has anyone any experience of such installations?
Perhaps someone has one nearby and could comment on any EMC effects.
