SunMax panels, MorningStar controllers, Trojan T-105 batteries, PacketFlux Site Monitor, UBNT Air Cam.

We have several setups like this that work great. Biggest issue is snow covering the panels in January... We send a guy out to equalize and water the batteries in January... He clears the panels as needed.

And everything except the T-105's can come from a WISPA member!

Off list if you need design help...

Solar!!! It's expensive and confusing and the few places I've talked to in the past about buying one seem to want to engineer the project to death where adding 1 more nano-amp would break their package. There has got to be other WISPs with solutions.

If only I can find a modular package ready for use. Basic typical tower needs for us: 2 nanobeamM5-400, 1 switch RB260GSP, 1 Rocket M2 w/sector, some will use an ePMP. Tower may need more gear later, so I would need more power in that event, hence a solar panel easy to add to. Remote monitor the batteries, charger/controller that has an rj45 interface and not some damn thing in the cloud with an account.

Can somebody out there throw some parts and suppliers at me?

I would need a panel that performs well in overcast-conditions. Sunny days are sort of rare around here, comes mostly in liquid form. Sun for a day, clouds for 3-4, except last winter we had 148 days of rain (every day with very little of sun playing peek-a-boo). High overcast much of the time. It's almost rain-forest conditions here.

    Can you just get your own meter installed? Power should be like
    $10-20 a month for a handful of devices.

        Relocating tower, yes obvious solution, is there a legal way
        to prevent
        power from being turned off in the meantime? (FYI--a
        foreclosure that
        went backwards and had been one of the first tower locations
        in the area
        more than 10 years, so we believed the customer)
