Really simple.
All our solar sites are standalone. Where they are located is too far
from the grid to make it practical in the first place. So there is no
connection to the grid at all.
That said. If you also had the grid available, you would want the
connection to the grid to disconnect your solar charger.
If you run the equipment directly off the batteries, it would not matter
how they are getting charged.

Basically a two part question I guess. In looking at solar, I want the hardware
to stay up during the transfer of power from the grid to the batteries and back
again. I assume that the momentary switch will drop the power enough to cause a
reboot or the boards to hang up which would mean a truck to roll to the tower.
I want to avoid that.
So those of you who do solar, how do you deal with that switch over?
I have talked to a few solar companies and so far they don't have a clue other
than sizing up the battery bank to operate an APC with the mikrotik and other
equipment on that. Since the APC draws a whole lot more than all the network
hardware this really raises the cost.
