I installed a solar panel and required charge controller in our RV.
While it works quite well for its purpose, when I use the HF radio the
thing must be turned off. Seems those switching charge controllers in
their plastic boxes and with multiple wires running everywhere do
generate noise "from DC to light". Even after switching it off, the
100 watt transceiver and the nearby antenna drove the charge controller
nuts. It turned on, it turned off, it gave out beeps and became a total
annoyance. It did make a good CW monitor however as it beeped with
every CW element.
I'm sure there are other ones which are quite good. But I bet they are
expensive. Mine is a Windy Nation 100 watt system.

Mike,
One of my ham friends has his next door neighbor using solar power. It
is causing a lot of RFI across most of HF. I suggest that you require your
supplier supplier to use RF quiet solutions.

I've employed a small solar power system to supply my ham shack which
includes K3-100/P3, two PCs with flat screen monitors, and 20" flat screen
TV. This began as a basic test bed to understand Solar Power, so i know i
have lots to learn, and perhaps I have answers to help others with the same
interests.
I'd like to hear of your trials, errors, and decided solutions for best
results. I'm now researching best price performers for a pure sine wave
inverter so i can merge my ATT u-Verse gateway/wi-fi and associated
devices.
Also, when running CW on the K3 i occasionally encounter LOW BATTERY error,
requiring a few seconds of UP-Key to allow the batteries to recover. I'd
like to discuss that symptom relative to my sizing considerations in the
Solar Power system. On paper it appears sufficient. Sometimes i
wonder............
Drop me a note via email so we might continue this conversation at length.
Thanks. Mike, K5MP
