My house is not solar powered at this time, but we DEPEND on solar power for our internet connection. I'm down over a hill so I don't have a straight shot to my towers. I arranged for a solar powered wireless internet repeater on a small nearby island. Here it is. It's a 12v system with 170AH of power, plenty for running a single radio that uses at most 5w of power and transmits at 100mw.
