Solar Panel and Inverter Recent Audio Lessons Learned


I am building a new home in California with a dedicated upstairs music room. California requires 2020 new home construction be equipped with solar panels to augment conventional electric power. The solar panels will be installed on the roof and located in the area directly above the music room ceiling. I am concerned about adverse impacts (such as RFI) on sound reproduction. Does anybody have current experience on whether they have experienced negative sound impacts attributable to solar panel inverters and battery storage devices, or implementation of effective mitigation measures? [NOTE: I am a novice in the area of residential solar energy and reluctant to rely on "canned" solar provider internet sources. I am looking for real experiences from true audio and music enthusiasts.] Thanks for your assistance.

First, my thanks for reading and responding to my inquiry. The first 2 respondents indicate no solar noise to the powered equipment is detectable. Glennewdick addresses the concern flagged in some unhappy internet posts regarding inverter noise. My sound systems are equipped with power conditioners and run silently in my current home using straight AC power.  I just am anticipating that there may be some installation techniques available to reasonably assure the inverter (or other solar components) do not introduce noise to the electrical grid.
