[Commotion-discuss] powering ubiquiti devices with solar power

[Adam Longwill]

Meta Mesh has done a proof-of-concept for solar powered ubnt nodes. We
powered a ubnt Rocket overnight using a solar cell and battery. I don't
have the details of exactly what we used BUT I do know that the lowest
voltage recommened by Ubiquiti is 15v but we had ours working off a battery
at 12v. We recommend using 2 12v batteries or a 24v battery. Someone with
better electrical knowledge can correct me, please, or fill in details.

We DID find this really cool setup which is an all-in-one solution to
powering and storing the batteries. Check it out!

We are hoping we can get one in the next grant we apply for for a local
baseball field with no Internet/Electricity access but is within range of
other nodes.

Hope that Helps.

Sign up for our mailing list for details. We'll be announcing some cool
stuff this month!
