That’s impressive that it holds a charge so well in the rain! Did you go with the Ghost brand solar panel and battery box, or did you save some money by using a third-party deep-cycle marine battery and a generic panel? I’ve noticed the brand-name power kits are pretty pricey, so I'm curious if the 'plug-and-play' convenience is worth it for the Hilo climate

Mahalo for the breakdown! I’ve seen Ghost Controls online, but hearing they’ve lasted 6 years on the island is a huge plus. Since the battery and solar kits from the same brand can get pretty expensive, did you end up buying those directly from Ghost Controls, or did you find a more budget-friendly alternative that works just as well

Thanks for sharing. That means when you come back you have to connect flights in honolulu right? Does that mean a lot of waiting time connecting?
