Do not run pure bio diesel, any waste oil, vegetable oil or any other nonsense in that 7.3L unless you don't mind replacing a $5,000 set of injectors.
With the 7.3L you picked the absolute worse kind of diesel fuel injection system to experiment with alternative fuels on.
The only other thing besides diesel that can be burned in the 7.3 is jet fuel.
Plus the methanol and lye used to make bio diesel all come from the petrochemical industry, and the 7.3 still needs oil changes and grease.
As long as the solar panel has some kind of working charge controller that is all that matters.
