Hi.....
My name is Max and my call is KP4PK. I run a 144, 222, and 440 mhz machines
on solar and wind power. I use 6, 60 watt solar panels and a 300 watt wind
mill all at 24V. That feeds (8) 6v 220 amp golf cart batteries. I use a 24V
to 13.8V converter to power the repeaters and packet nodes. The system runs
basically with out much supervision other than going to the site every 6 to
8 weeks to check the batteries connections for corrosion and cleaning the
solar panels.
This is not a cheap system. Figure abt $425.00 for each solar panel. abt
$650.00 for the windmill, abt $90.00 per battery, add another $125.00 for
the charge controller and another $100.00 for the voltage down converter.
I bought all the hardware ( but the batteries, which i bought locally) from
Sunelco 1-800-338-6844 and Atlantic Solar Products at 1-410-686-2500. They
can provide you with catalogs and more information.
I hope this helps,
73,
Max KP4PK

I have located a site for my UFH repeater. However, this site does not
have any power that is available to me. Any ideas on how to run my
machine? I have been looking at battery, but I don't think it will run
to long unless I have quite a few batteries. The entire system will
fraw no more that 5 amps. This site is not out of the way for me to go
up every few days and change out a couple of batteries. I just don't
think they will last that long.
