Does a solar power home inverter negatively affect the sound of audio systems?

Michael Fremer’s wrote an interesting Stereophile article regarding the detrimental affect of his gas generator inverter on the sound of his audio system.  Does anyone have experience with a solar power inverter and how it affected the audio system sound.

I think a lot of Mr. Fremer’s problems were related to the electrical ground in his older house. I have a house that was built in 1995 so grounding issues may not be an issue.

I assume these inverters create emi/rfi, in which case they affect whole house power quality. My own experience of using portable lithium ion battery supply to power certain components exposes flavoring, assume the inverter causing this. 

 

I do seem to recall a thread somewhere here where someone provided link to audiophile spec portable battery supply, inverter used boutique parts to suppress  self generated noise.
