There is a System Power Calculator in an Excel spreadsheet here http://tyconpower.com/learning_center/learning_center.htm
There's also some other links on this page to some government pages that have useful info.

I have a quad radio node that is 110V AC only, and I'm getting together what's needed in order to power it on a solar panel. Obviously, I'll need an inverter to take from 110V to 48V DC. Does anyone have any suggestions for batteries? Someone suggested some high capacity 6V ones (like they use on golf carts) and possibly putting them in series or parallel (depending on the draw I need). Also, I hear that there is some sort of sunlight calculator that I'll need to use to calculate the battery capacity I'll need to plan for. Any suggestions there? (I don't see anything googling) Any advice here would be greatly appreciated. (I'm new to planning out power requirements.) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- WISPA Wants You!
