Re: [IRCA] Alberta TPs for 29 January 2017



I have about 7 kw of solar installed here Walt, with almost no interference
issues.  But no charge controllers are used and the inverters are actually
APC brand UPS's.

And I also have some Dlink PowerLine extenders (DHP-306av) in use, one
circuit passes within a few feet of the Wellbrook loop and causes no issues
at all.

I have a potential 200 home subdivision planned on my northern boundary (I
see some survey stakes already in place) so I'm not looking forward to that
- on so many levels.
