The physical processes producing bright broadband coherent synchrotron radiation (CSR) bursts in laboratory accelerators are proposed to happen also in solar flares, bringing a plausible explanation to serious interpretation constraints raised by the discovery of a solar flare sub-mm-wave spectral emission component peaking in the terahertz (THz) range simultaneous to the well-known microwaves component. The THz component is due to incoherent synchrotron radiation (ISR) produced by a beam of ultrarelativistic electrons. Beam density perturbations, on a scale of the order of or smaller than the emitting wavelength, sets a microbunch instability producing the intense CSR at lower frequencies. Hard x-ray/γ-ray emissions may include a significant synchrotron emission component from the same ISR spectrum, bringing a new possibility to explain the so called ``solar flare electron number paradox.''
