When acting only as a battery based inverter, the largest unit made by Ecoflow 
(around 3 kwh) can be quieted with ferrite cores on the various cabling to 
tolerable levels. When the 160 watt flexible solar panel is connected spurs are 
generated all the way to 6 m.   Cores on that cabling provided reduction but 
you still can monitor the incidence of sun on the panel quite handily by 
listening to any spur.
The unit is well made and robust.   It's heavy, at about 100 lb. Has a built-in 
retractable handle and wheels.

(K1TTT),

Thanks for the info...  I ask because I find myself in the possession of 
a system like that.  I have been considering setting it up for testing, 
and possible use.  I'll set it up, test, and post results in a month or 
so...  THANKS!

73, and thanks,
