[RE-wrenches] outback fx series inverters

[Dana]

Add over the wire smart meters [pulse style?] here due to the wireless smart
meter scares in other locals. The wireless smart meters would not work with
the mountains here.

It's a sad fact of life that people will attribute their ills to whatever is
new, strange, or emotionally unappealing to them. In Vermont right now the
woo-woos are afraid of wireless internet routers, wireless smart meters, and
wind turbines. 

You have several choices.

Call their game - tell them that you are sorry that they feel ill but that
scientifically speaking it can't be from the inverter. Inform them of all
the studies showing that people can't actually feel EMF or any kind of RF
(short of sitting inside a radar dish and cooking). They should look
elsewhere for relief - like a good therapist. If they are offended by that
then maybe they will find another installer to bother and your life will be
improved.

Play their game - Faraday cage the thing or whatever the quacks want you to
do. Charge full boat and a half for that kind of nonsense.

Play your game - figure out something easy to do, attribute the EMF to that,
and do it. I once had a potential client (luckily I didn't get the job) ask
for a copper box around the batteries to reduce the "harmful waves." I
assured her that she was somewhat misinformed; if there were any waves to be
emitted, that they would come from the cables between the batteries and the
inverter. All I would have to do is wrap the cables around each other in a
spiral and the waves would be canceled out. She was satisfied with that. It
was just my confidently expressed mumbo jumbo instead of hers, and it would
cost her zero as opposed to a copper box. (Actually, widely spaced battery
cables can be a source of RFI, so I wasn't totally spoofing her.)

Good luck,

Hilton
