I just got a copy of the ARRL book Emergency Power and I am impressed! That stuff may be old hat to some of you, but I'm a real noob at this and it looks very good for getting up to speed. Lots of basic stuff like Don't let shadows fall across your panel and more advanced stuff like charge controller theory and schematics.

Let me get my k1 done then I may well build or at least buy a no- frills K2. 73 de Alex NS6Y.

I sell the low power solar controller kits.

Just want to add a testimonial for Don's solar charge controller kits. We used one at Field Day to run a 12 A-hr battery (RS Jump Starter) with a
15 watt panel for the K2,  and also with a set of three 15 watt panels
and a 100 A-hr marine battery to run the inverter for the logging
computer - gotta figure out a better, more QRP friendly logger - maybe
cellulose fiber graphic panels coupled with a manually vectored graphite character generator - I'm told they support the full ASCII set and have
integrated error correction.

Anyway, Don's kit are great - good parts, good boards, and good
instructions, at a good price...
