Wonder Pole?
Please tell me more!

This particular setup is mounted to a 4 x 6 x 4 Wells Cargo enclosed
trailer. I painted it bright white and added my logo and on one side
Solar Powered Wireless. I park it at events and provide free
WiFi. I park it downtown every Friday for Farmers Market and the
name recognition has been outstanding.
I have a 40 foot Wonder Pole mounted to the side I swing into
position and hoist a Deliberant panel up. Inside the trailer I have
a Deliberant AP2i doing DHCP and giving out access. I don't push the
pole up farther than 15 or 20 feet for events, but will run it all
the way up for site surveys on occasion.
Both radios pull less than an Amp total and the system supplies 2.5
Amp in good sun. The 800 Amp hour battery will run it for 800 hours?

Interesting. What radios are you powering this with?

I bought two of the Northern Tool $79.00 15 watt panels, their $49.00
charge controller, a deep cycle marine battery from Walmart and built
my own. So far, the "fully charged" light comes on every day. The
battery should run my two radio repeater for more than a week. Might
not be the club way to do it, but it works.

Hi All,
Sorry for the cross post. Time is short on this project and I
need a lot of
help.
I've never done a solar project. Never really even looked at them due to
the costs I've seen tossed about.
Now I have a customer that's willing to purchase the initial equipment
needed to cover his community. The ONLY way into the area is a hill that's
within sight of my tower and NOT anywhere near power.
I'll be able to just run a single MT board with two radios in it for this
site. One backhaul and 1 distribution. I'll guess that I'll
have less than
a 2 amp draw (probably much less than 1 amp in reality).
We don't often get long periods of no sun. Could be days of fog or low
clouds in the winter, but mostly we'll have a lot of sun. On the foggy or
cloudy days we often don't have enough wind to worry about wind generation.
I think.
So, please clue me in on what to buy, who to buy it from (vendors welcome!)
and anything else I'm missing.
Thanks all!
