“A lot of viewers asked to see how bad the interference was on my receive when my RV is running off-grid with solar only. In this video I was actually only several feet away from the system, however I can see the noise even 300 yards away. It’s only this terrible when you are right next to it (or inside the RV) I have 1500+ watts on the roof of my RV, thats 1265 watts at 36 volts through an MPPT charge controller to a 500aH 24VDC battery plant, as well as 275 watts at 12 volts to another MPPT charge controller to a 12VDC 200aH battery plant.
