My personal experience is that Ferrites had little or no effect on the noise from my system. As with about anything "Your mileage may vary".

General findings have beeen that panels with "mini-inverters" on the panels themselves are very quiet. Panels with "optimizers" or DC-DC converters on each panel and a main inverter on the side of the house are very noisy! I specifically asked for the mini inverters and mine are quiet, but I can hear my neighbors system several hundred feet away with his "optimizers." You can get a bag of ferrites and clamp them on every panel's output and it will drastically quiet them down.

I have been running 5.8 Kw system using Kyocera panels and SMA inverters now for 20 years. No noise at all. The inverters are less that 6 feet from my radios.
