    You can also try disconnecting the solar panel for a few days since you’ve got a fully-charged battery on it.  Then that’ll tell you if there’s any correlation between the sensor noise and charging activity.  On a few rare occasions, a failing solar panel ended up generating noise on CTD sensor data.
