My one bit of advice is this. Plan for the future and if you can afford it, double or even triple your planned/available wattage capacity. You will thank yourself later when you need to put in a licensed link/ power hungry AP, or someone needs a point to point link that can only see your solar site. We started small and have had to upgrade 3 times at one solar site.
