12v 60W photo-voltaic solar panel. This solar panel is actually a little bigger than it needs to be, but the over compensation should still allow for charging during cloudy days. Mono or Poly-crystalline panels both work fine.

12V 18Ah sealed lead acid spill-less battery. Our devices and these batteries run at 12v, and the battery will run a 1 amp device for 18 hours. There is also a 35Ah(amp hour) version of this battery but is not neccessary unless you live in some pretty cloudy climate.  

Plastic NEMA economy box with solid door

11-51/64" Length

7-55/64" Width

5-7/64" Height

These boxes fit the 18Ah battery, charge controller and wires perfectly with not a lot of space to spare. Affordable and perfect for the job

Sunix 20A 12v/24v Solar Charge Controller. This little guy is great, and handily lets you charge your phone on the front. Automatically charges your battery from the solar panel and prevents overcharging too. Front panel screen allows you to see device load, panel input and battery charge levels very easily.

Unifi Access Points. Not enough great things can be said about these enterprise grade APs. Insanely easy to setup and fit perfect on the front of our SolarLynks. The newest AC Wave 2 access points from Unifi are some of the fastest on the planet. All Unifi APs use the same controller so you can't go wrong no matter which one you use. We use the Unifi UAP Pros.

Ubiquiti NanoStation M5. This is our favorite PTMP bridge to work with due to its easy setup, long range link capabilities and overall versatility. When used with an OMNI directional antenna, minimal aiming and calibrations are required and can still pull 100Mbps easily. Ubiquiti has labeled this bridge as "legacy" gear, which means they will no longer produce or provide updates for them. There are faster bridges now available, but this one will always have a space in our hearts.

The Ubiquiti NanoBeam AC. This little monster can provide up to 1Gbps bandwidth over very long PTMP links. The drawback to using these kind are that it can take some careful calibrations, and without them can run buggy and slow.  Perfect alignment can provide incredible service however. These only have a single port on the bottom, so attaching it to a SolarLynk has a difference process than the NanoStation.

Satellite dish mount. Finding one of these is absolutely the easiest and best way in our opinion to deploy a SolarLynk to a flat roof. We'll also go through how to mount to tops of walls and pitched roofs as well. If ever available, use a mount like this one.

The J Mount style of the re-purposed satellite dish mount.
