Bizarre clock behavior [RE-wrenches]

We have a customer whose clock radio is running fast by about 5-7
minutes per day - but only while the sun is shinning - ever since we
commissioned his 2.3kW Sunpower PV system.  The more power he makes
the faster the clock goes.  My only thought is that the clock has such
low resistance that a little extra current is running through it as
power is being pushed onto the grid.

Any thoughts?

fusion reactor safely banked a few million miles from us. It delivers
more than we could ever use in just about 8 minutes. And it's
wireless!"
