[A/S] SOLAR Charge Controller/regulator



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.
