Bob,
It isn't just a problem in Sweden. We have seriously here in the U.S. Panels put in my Solar City annd a another company, I can't remember the name, are also rather problematic. They make no effort to suppress the noise caused by both the equalizers nor the power converters. There are typically no use of ferrite's, conduits, or twisted wire. There was an article on this in QST a while back, and several local hams have complained to the installation companies and have had them respond and make repairs. I do believe that ham radio as a service under the FCC is protected from these sorts of things.

Subject: [Elecraft] OT - Radio interference from Solar Panels

The Swedish Electrical Safety Agency and the Swedish Energy Agency are 
investigating radio interference from installations with solar panels

Sweden's national amateur radio society SSA reports:  Solar panels are becoming 
more and more common.   An increasing problem is that interference can be 
created to radio reception.   The newsletter (LÄNK) from the Swedish 
Electricity Safety Agency states that they are looking more closely at the 
inverters and optimizers found in solar panel installations.  The Swedish 
Electric Safety Authority is doing this together with the Swedish Energy Agency 
in a project that is ongoing until March 2020.
