Does anyone know if solar panels "properly installed" on my roof will affect my imax 2000 antenna? Panels will be approximately 17 feet high and the bottom of the imax is 40 feet from the ground.. Thanks!
 

Where is the antenna in relation to panels? Mounted on roof above panels?

Question is, what materials are used in the panel.

Cells are silicon, covers are probably polycarb with aluminum frames?

If so might look a lot like a roof shingle to Rf.

It is mounted on end of house at peak.. Not directly above but mast will be within a few feet of the solar frame..
 
I'd be more concerned about the RF from the charging circuit...I can "hear" mine from over 100 feet away. And that's a single panel charging a single 12-volt battery using a smart charger.
