Jim,

I want to set up a battery power for my radios in the shack since I frequently lose power.

I believe you mentioned that you are now powering your shack from a LiFePo4 battery, Which one did you choose?

Tony,

Don't expect much help from your power company -- it's not their 
problem, it's the fault of that solar system.

See http://k9yc.com/KillingReceiveNoise.pdf  and the issue of QST 
referenced in the discussion of solar systems.
