ON4BK's D-STAR repeater ON0CPS is possibly the first to operate entirely on solar energy
ON0CPS operates in the Amateur Radio 70cm band with 439.5625 MHz output and 431.9625 MHz input. During the day there is usually enough sun to keep the repeater going and charge the two 120Ah batteries which power the repeater at night. So far the repeater has been running over a month on solar power alone.
