QUIET solar panel battery charger/controller?
 

I want to put some solar panels on my RV to charge the house/radio
batteries. Does anyone have a recommendation for a charge controller
brand/model that won't generate RFI to the HF radio?

Thanks.

I guess it must be using a switch mode regulator...? Linear regulators
tend to be less efficient/more lossy.

My initial workaround/though would be to use a shottkey blocking diode
and dump the controller altogether. If the batteries are wet NiCd's they
wont care too much about over voltage, just watch for boil off. You may
also be able to devise an extra bank of diodes that switch in and out
depending on solar panel output, but only switch it every few minutes.
You will of course lose some efficiency.
