I'm thinking of putting some underground wire to bring 120vAC out to a relatively clear spot (still not good enough for solar/uv all day long, too many trees within shadow distance) but wonder about other's experience with AC out to things electronic and fans runnning and all that for noise sources. I have some Blitzortung lightning detector stuff within a few hundred feet and don't want to have anything become a source of noise, or for any potential other sensors or station accoutrements that I migh hang out there where my wife won't see them.
What are any downsides to having AC where some things are collected together, even a Stevenson shelter for old theremometers, Taylor rain gauge, etc, vs maybe solar DC be better if I stuck up a 2x3' solar panel and a sealed box and battery in it?
