[MLB-WIRELESS] Solar power for access point

[Steven Haigh]

Rob, I'm guessing the best way would be a 12v battery hooked to a solar power supply... then run an invertor...

you'd have to guess what load type you'd have to compensate for... depends exactly what you wish to run....

you'll need to allow for 4 x the load in charging capacity - and remember - it doens't charge at night...

  Hello All,

  I would like to put a RG-1000 / apple Airport access point in a location that does not have direct access to power, so I would like to get power to the unit via solar & battery backup.

  Has anyone from the group got any experience in solar powered devices or be able to source a how to on making such a unit ?

  Any help would be welcomed.

  Regards,
