We aren’t running anything on solar. I have a question though. What’s your backhaul? Are you thinking of bridging to the bus stops?

I am looking at doing a few proof of concepts at some bus stops to try and provide connectivity for those waiting for the bus. I am interested with the following particular questions but please add any comments or suggestions you may have. Questions: What make/model solar system do you have? What APs and antennas are you using? What are the power ratings of the solar system (12v, 48v, 120v, wattage, etc.)? How does the AP connect to the power such as a power injector running 120v, direct connect via DC, DC-to-DC converter, etc? What is your targeted uptime? Ie how long should the battery last in the event of bad weather. Any other comments or stories to share would be most helpful.
