[Elecraft] Solar power?

[Mel Farrer]

I use a Mercury 27 W foldable from Instapark.com with a 9.9 AH Life04 and runs the KX3 all day and most of the night plus it has a USB port to charge the laptop.

I am using 60W foldable solar panel, Genasun MPPT controller 
https://genasun.com/products-store/mppt-solar-charge-controllers/ (they 
are RF quiet) and 5500 AH LiFePo4 battery with built it limiting 
circuitry  which some outlets are selling as a substitute for lead acid 
motorcycle batteries. All works just great with KX3. When using K3 I add 
one more solar panel and 25 AH LiFePo4 battery. This proved to be enough 
to keep going the whole day.
