Solar Back On
Well I've turn the Solar Power MeshAP and continue to test the Solar system. I have noticed that I getting pretty well good performance from the Wrap board and it is impressive. I just wished it was a little more powerful in MHz.
The solar collectors are still on the ground and I will need to build a frame to mounted them on my fancy pole. Currently the weather in Toronto has been cold and rainy and the performance of the solar panels is not very good. Each solar panel is 2 amps on a bright sunny day like today but on a cloudy day it is less than .5 amp. I currently have 3 and need possible to by a forth. The solar panel is trickling in with it charge and it is taking for ever to get the battery to 100%. This morning at 8 am EDST. I tried to turn the unit back on but alarm indicated that there was not enough power. I had to wait unit 10 AM and it currently working.
Two batteries and a large solar collector is probably required for continued operation. One of my contacts indicated to me that I should verify my work with others on google.
I believe that if I read and understood everything correctly that this unit has sufficient amps and watts to power and run the Solar MeshAP continuous; however, the weather, the location and the amount of sunlight I getting is skewing the problems.
I continue to experiment into the summer.
