The trigger was radio amateurs from Switzerland who had registered with the magazine.<\/p>\n<p>Editor-in-chief Heiko Schwarzburger, himself a qualified engineer MA, has written three very insightful articles based on interviews with experts on the subject and those affected.<\/p>\n<p>The first article is an interview with Heinrich H\u00e4berlin, HB9AZO, professor emeritus at the Burgdorf University of Applied Sciences and operator of his own photovoltaic system. As the publisher of a comprehensive standard work on photovoltaics and many other publications, he is an important voice in the industry.<\/p>\n<p>The second interview was conducted by editor-in-chief Schwarzburger with dipl. El-Ing. ETH Emmanuel de Raemy from OFCOM, responsible for EMC issues. Mr. de Raemy is a regular participant in the meetings between OFCOM and USKA, which take place twice a year. He also clearly explains that the disturbances of PV systems are a problem for all radio services. However, it is usually the radio amateurs who are the first to discover and can assign them thanks to their technical knowledge.<\/p>\n<p>In the third interview, a radio amateur spoke, who had such a hard time with the service provided by the unintelligible manufacturer because considerable faults were found.<\/p>\n<p>We thank editor-in-chief Heiko Schwarzburger for the very informative and well-founded contributions on the subject of EMC interference from PV systems, and hope that the awareness of the problem will raise the awareness of the installers and builders.<\/p>\n<p>Bernard, HB9ALH<br \/>\nBoard of Directors USKA<\/p>\n<p>Magazine article<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.uska.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/PV2-2020_DC-Optimierer.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.uska.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/PV2-2020_DC-Optimierer.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source USKA post Photovoltaics disrupt radio traffic<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/tinyurl.com\/SwitzerlandUSKA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/tinyurl.com\/SwitzerlandUSKA<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The USKA report the magazine\u00a0Photovoltaik\u00a0carries an article about the interference solar panel installations cause to radios A translation of the USKA post says: What we radio amateurs have known for a long time has now been publicly and well-reported.
