Two 75w panels would be about right for just the MT411. And you'd need a bigger charge controller. 150w/12v= 10A. On Wed, Apr 21, 2010 at 03:57:01PM +, Akinlolu Ajayi-Obe wrote: I have a repeater with one microtik 411, two motorolla canopy and one 1amp 12v switch. I want to run it

I'd use the panel's own max working current rating for calculating the needed charge controller capacity. Greg On Apr 22, 2010, at 9:39 AM, jp wrote: Two 75w panels would be about right for just the MT411. And you'd need a bigger charge controller. 150w/12v= 10A. On Wed, Apr 21, 2010

I have a repeater with one microtik 411, two motorolla canopy and one 1amp 12v switch. I want to run it strictly on solar. I'm wondering if a 75watts solar panel with a 10amp charge controller will do. Thanks Akin Sent from my BlackBerry® smartphone

The best way to design an off-grid radio system is to take advantage of every chance you find to avoid having to generate a watt in the first place. Two drop-in replacement, high-efficiency voltage regulator devices that can help to that end: http://store.gravitech.us/312v1aswvore.html

That's one point I was making with my fuzzy math repeater example. :-) I think the Wili card radios in that repeater system will operate down to 7V. I may need more than toys if I tried to use legacy 48V stuff and the resultant voltage conversions. At 10:08 AM 8/29/2009, you wrote: The best
