[VAC] SOLAR Charge controler/regulator

["Mitch Hill - K1FH" <fmhill@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Greetings all,

I am looking for a new SOLAR charge controller/regulator to use with a pair of 
SP75 75 watt panels.  I am most impressed with the technical data I read 
about the new type  MPPT controllers, in particular the RV Power Products 
SB2000E.  

I am leaning strongly with purchasing this controller, however as I operate 
communications equipment, I am concerned with RFI either from the 
controller to the receiver or from the 100 watt transmitter affecting the 
controller.  

In the first instance, the SB2000E controller is a 35Khz DC/DC switching 
regulator, can the hash from this be a problem with a high sensitivity 
communications receiver operating in the 2-30 Mhz range?  

In the actual installation I am planning, the SOLAR controller would be 
mounted within 2-3 feet of the radio gear, the SOLAR installation wiring runs 
through the same egress opening as the antenna cables for the 
communications equipment.

I would be very interested in hearing from anyone using the SB2000E 
controller and of your experiences with it.
