One thing that is incorrect. That is the least amount of work for the microinverters. Shade, especially from passing clouds will push the system harder and require a lot more. Also, when tapering down as batteries are full is a much more processing intensive thing to do.

Just FYI.

Least work in full sun makes sense when you point it out.

I'm not sure if that makes more or less interference though.

I guess that depends where the interference comes from, which seems to be in dispute. Is it the processors or the power or the feed lines?

I may go back and test again on a shady day for more info.

The Microinverters are still using something akin to MPPT to get the most out of each panel. Of the maximum power point doesn't require calculating a new tracking tracking point due to very little short delta irradiance changes, it doesn't need to do anything and that means that the output and possibly interference generated from required changes would be very, very minimal.

Also, not driving any inductive loads is kinda cheating since it is grid tied and exporting and not directly handling possibly dirty loads from the local use.
