To include the radio side in the subject 
I've not yet gone down the solar path so have limited knowledge but the experience of a couple of guys I know has made me a tad wary.
One I believe spent about $20k on a kit i.e. a large set of panels etc., a wall battery and he gets some form of feed-in tariff.
He admits that it will take quite a while to recover the cost of the system, and then at some point there will be panel & battery replacement. He did do his research beforehand WRT to the exact models of kit and I believe he has no RF interference.
Another gent, beforehand it was recommended to him that he also do his research i.e. find out from his installer addresses where he had put in the same system he was considering, so he could go around with (say) a AM & SW portable to assess RF interference. He didn't, has lost AM band reception and the lower end of SW and now has an issue getting the installer to do something about it. it was also recommended he specify EU manufactured panels etc. but not sure he did ....
Oh, and thanks for the tip re the "-" on Youtube - works a treat -
