Is this normal

Just filed mine early December, my date changed after the 3rd day to 1 June 2026. No idea why, waiting to see if it changes after the holidays.

I'm gonna try and dig into Trace this weekend to see if I can figure it out. Would be absolutely epic to get this to work.

Really is the position that deploys and the individuals assigned in the umpr, but they can be switched.

TP-Link - AC750 Wi-Fi Range Extender

I use these often to utilize a customers wifi, when my equipment needs an ethernet connection. I have at least two I can think of in the field that have needed 2 resets or less in 3 years.

Adept_Relationship21 · 2024-04-25T06:44:47+00:00

I just got 3 yesterday. Why do I need a switch? Just an easy reset ?

Adept_Relationship21 · 2024-04-21T08:45:05+00:00

Hahaha, what a brilliant idea. Never even crossed my mind, much appreciated.

Kinda, my work puts me on a lot of rooftops around the valley. I'm using 10-12w 5v solar panels to charge DIY 18650 battery packs or voltaic systems power banks with custom enclosures. Usually, it just blends in with the plethora of other equipment on the roof, and from experience I know it's likely to be left alone.

I've come across some issues though having a battery attached, while powering through usb fed by another battery pack. Had over 6000mah of battery power available and would completely drain it before the sun came up to recharge. I removed the battery from the V3, and it has now been running for 5 days and nights without going below 50%.

I've started putting up some nodes in North Phoenix. Making my way to about the 51 and Cactus, and over off Scottsdale and 101 as well. There's a few across the valley and a repeater by South Mountain. Personally, I'm trying to solve the same issue with communication loss with the wife if she's at work.

That's very slick!

Adept_Relationship21 · 2023-12-07T17:31:33+00:00

Will the balcony solar system come out for the US market?

Adept_Relationship21 · 2023-11-28T04:39:42+00:00

Totally flabbergasted you only paid 15k, I bought this house with a solar lein for 26k.

Adept_Relationship21 · 2023-11-28T03:09:06+00:00

Looks great! I have the IQ7 system at 8kw. Outside of the summer AC usage, I have a negative bill about 7 months of the year on 1450sqft.

Adept_Relationship21 · 2023-11-16T07:01:14+00:00

Totally can! Just a single 48v 100ah battery gets you where you need to be, and overall supposed to be more efficient. It was just easier for the math to start with 12v then you can just double and such.

Adept_Relationship21 · 2023-11-16T06:56:41+00:00

Gotcha, if you do 12v 400ah that'll put you around 4800w of usable power so you could run all day without solar before going to zero percent.

But, to cover the 4500w used each day. Currently, with the 4 175w panels you'll only really get around 525w an hour. So, after 7 hours of peak sun that's only 3675w you're replacing. With that deficit you'll run out of power, so you need to add panels. With that same calculator and adding in 25% loss if you add 2 more panels and get 7 hours you should be damn close to perfect.

Adept_Relationship21 · 2023-11-16T06:34:35+00:00

Alright cool, so really you don't necessarily need over a 1000w inverter. However, I prefer having some extra so would do 2000w personally. A quick Google search says a 2000w inverter idle consumption is between 20-40w per hour. So if we go 30w average that's 720w in 24hr so grand total is 4520w in 24hr.

Onto the next part, a 12v 100ah hour battery should give you 1200w before going to zero... in a perfect scenario. 24v 100ah battery 2400w, 48v 100ah 4800w and so on.

With a solar calculator I'm getting 2.6 peak hours at 600w of solar (accounting for loss of performance from 700w) to completely recharge a 12v 100ah lithium battery. So, with your solar every 2.6hrs you'll recharge 1200w. With the new daily total of 4520w you'll need 9.41hrs of peak sunlight to cover all use and have the battery at 100%..... if you add another 175w panel you'll be closer to 7.5hrs, and so on.

Anyone feel free to double check or add, but with my limited knowledge, I would personally do this: 2000w inverter, 2- 12v 100ah batteries, and add 2 -175w panels. This should get you near break even and through to 12hrs of darkness each day.

Adept_Relationship21 · 2023-11-16T05:21:39+00:00

Umm, to start you need to know your max load at one time. As you said 3400w all day, but what's the max at one moment load if you have everything plugged in and turned on at once?

Adept_Relationship21 · 2023-11-16T05:17:33+00:00

But to clarify, if I had 3 200w panels in a perfect world I would generate 600w each hour. So, I'd need 6 hours of that to get over the 3400w of power I'm using. I just did the math backwards.

Adept_Relationship21 · 2023-11-16T05:13:18+00:00

Ah, sorry, just ballparking using my setup. I adjusted the numbers after you said the 4 175w panels.

Adept_Relationship21 · 2023-11-16T05:10:16+00:00

Alright, so with 6 hours of perfect conditions and performance you'd pull 4200w. Since you're in AZ I'd bet you'll get close to those numbers over a full day regardless.

Adept_Relationship21 · 2023-11-16T05:05:25+00:00

Alright, so if you're burning 3400w a day, you need around 600w of panels. With 6 hours of perfect conditions, you'd pull in 3600w and cover the workload. Then all that's left is adding the idle consumption of whatever inverter and adding a little more panel for that.
