Only used one panel. We build the mounts with Home Depot Superstrut and 1" conduit. ~$50 We used http://thesolarstore.com/charge-controllers-charge-controllers-morningstar-p rostar-charge-controller-volt-p-455.html ~$100 And a Walmart 124 Amp hour battery... ~$100 Good for 1.4 weeks no sun.. We use Mikrotik so we get remote voltage that way, use a 750UP for that with UBNT, but be sure and correct the voltage on your monitoring... You are working off 12V so you have to worry about your amperage through the 750UP, but with UBNT gear that shouldn't be a problem.. MT radios are a problem at 12V... So we use a 12->24V converter. ($70) We put it in a Walmart plastic tub. The one that is strong enough to stand on. ~$30 We figured we saved about $400 vs buying a pre-built solution. More like $700 over Tycon's solution. Panels were $299 for 2 they are still there. But just saw this which is a good deal too!
