Note that this family of controllers is designed for use ONLY with lead
acid batteries.

Genasun is the only quiet MPPT controller I know about, and they're only
made for small systems. Make certain that you buy the one for your
battery chemistry. They make for lead-acid, LiFePO4, and Li.

Hi Mike,
I am working on taking my station completely off the grid. Have three 12
volt 100 watt panels and looking for radio compatible charge
controllers. I have a 1200 amp-hr station battery I made from 6 1200
amp-hr cells that I plan to charge with just these panels. The station

A US company called Genasun makes several models of MPPT charge
controllers that are RF quiet. I use two in my shack, and W6GJB has two
in his contesting trailer that we use for CQP, 7QP, and Field Day. They
make different models for lead-acid, lithium, and lithium-ferrous
phosphate
There is an informative article in the April, 2016 issue of QST on Solar Power
and RFI. “Can Amateur Radio and Solar Power Co-exist?"

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
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.
