Need Help with Solar RFI, HF Bands Unusable

I'm reaching out to see if anyone in the community might be able to help me out. After installing a solar system at my house, I started experiencing major RFI issues across the HF bands. It's bad enough that I can barely operate on any HF frequencies anymore.

I've already tried installing ferrite beads on various cables and lines connected to the system, but unfortunately, it hasn't made much of a difference. The interference is still there, and it's really frustrating not being able to enjoy the bands like I used to.

If anyone has experience dealing with RFI from solar systems — or has suggestions on other things I can try — I would truly appreciate your advice. Whether it's specific filters, grounding strategies, isolating the source more precisely, or anything else, I'm open to ideas.

Thanks in advance for any tips!
