What can you tell us about RF noise from the Morningstar charge regulators when the wiring between panels, regulator, and battery is very close to antennas? I'd be willing to bet it varies widely from one regulator family to another.

Another critical point -- current drawn from the panels and fed to the battery is pulsed DC, so should be viewed DC 100% modulated by DC square waves. ALL wiring in the charge path must be twisted pair to minimize radiation from it to nearby antennas.

Reasonably priced is up to you Wayne but for proven and reliable I recommend products 
from<https://www.morningstarcorp.com/>. At my place of work we have several of 
their MPPT and PWM controllers in service, some as much as 10 years now. I use their 
Prostar PWM controller on my personal standalone system with a 100 watt panel and a 
modest lead acid battery. In my experience their more compact Sunsaver products work 
well too and both are available on Amazon.
