Probably will depend upon the carts voltage. Install an inverter on the cart
and a genny socket – then with a regular genny cord and plug set, plug it into
the house’s genny outlet.
And by the way, can we PLEASE stop using the work CRITICAL when referencing
protected or backed up loads?
Every now and then I get questions here in the land of hurricanes and golf
courses about using golf carts as the battery bank for a permanently
mounted grid-tie home PV system in a backup scenario. Does anyone have any
ideas on a good way to do something like this? The battery would need to be
We’ve had success with Wilson amplifiers and a cell phone modem hotspot

Adam,
What kind of distance between the inverters and the existing internet
connection? Is there line of sight between the two? Is there an
electrical panel at the inverters that would allow you to install a low
amperage AC circuit for powering comms devices? Folks have made some good
I have also been able to use a Yagi antenna and the proper cable to acquire
2.4GHz WiFi from a remote source. My work has been with Fronius inverters, but
I would imagine SMA would be similar. They also have parabolic dishes with
higher gain
L-Com is where I get them from.

As Dan pointed out, the Litebeam products are not wifi extenders. They must be
used in pairs or other multi-device arrangements. Put simply, they allow you to
transfer a hard ethernet connection wirelessly through a 5ghz radio link. One
nice thing about them is that they function exactly
Friends:
When Snap N Rack discontinued the 100 series rail I was able to secure a
quantity of rail stock before it all disappeared. Module mounting clips
are still available because the new UR rail has the same top profile.
What I have run out of and cannot find more of is the 100 series
I concur with Luke Christy below - I have had great success with Ubiquiti
wireless bridges. If the line of sight is not completely clear, their 2 and
5gHz dishes can be problematic, but their 900mHz flat panels will work
through a moderate amount of vegetation. I'm using that one to write this
Luke,
I wanted to try out Ubiquiti products, and bought a NanoStation M2, but
haven't installed it yet. With the Lighbeam, can any device connect to it?
If so, I know at least the SMA SB wifi can only connect to 2Ghz, and not
5Ghz. I'll have to see if there is a 2Ghz option. This is why I cannot

I would second Dave’s suggestion to use wireless bridges for this application
-if hardwired internet access is available elsewhere on the property and if
there is decent line of sight access between that point and where your
equipment lives.
I have used a lot of Ubiquiti Litebeam
Hi Adam,
I have had good luck in the past setting up a wireless bridge. You will
need an outlet at the array to power the radio there, but these things can
work over long distances as long as there is line of sight. In the past, I
have used the Engenius ENH202. They often would even make the wifi
Wrenchers,
We have a project on a large property, where the install site has no
internet (there is internet much further away on the property, and on a
different service) and cell reception is pretty bad. We attempted to use
SMA Cell Modem Kits (sunny boy inverters), but couldn't get a good enough
I like Sunbundlers too, but you have to be careful - I’ve seen them pulled too
tight to the point where the crimp is digging into conductor insulation,
especially when the weight of the wire is on the crimp.

I'm partial to Heyco Sunbundlers which are PVC coated stainless cable ties:

We try to do the majority of our wire management with stainless S-clips
mounted on module frames or rail mounted C-shaped clips.
We’ve had great luck with the Thomas & Betts Ty-Rap brand UV resistant nylon
with stainless steel locking tab. 11” and 14” are handy.
Also, for highly exposed areas , the Commercial Electric 11” Stainless Steel
cable tie works wonders.
For wire management along rails of bundled PV cable, we
