>> I am setting up deployable Solar Panel solution <<

Maybe the only realistic way to get power after an EMP or CME — as long as the pulse doesn’t also disable solar panels.

(I still can’t get an answer from a knowledgeable person on that matter. Even asked an EE who works for a solar company. He didn’t know either!)

There has been some testing on some automobiles made between 1986 and 2002 on some newer autos. They found the car shut off but was able to be restarted. Looks like you have to be right under the pulse to cause damage to the automobile electronics.

I think the front end on a radio connected to an antenna would be damage. The best solution is just store your solar panel and radios disconnected in a medal building or box grounded.
