Active wifi repeater with solar cell
Hello,
Im new to the solar system.

I need to setup an active repeater for my wireless lan. My access point uses 5V @ 1 AMP. The unit need to be on 24/7.

So, after my understanding, my unit is using 5V@1A = 5 watt. It needs to be on 24 hours a day , so 120WH.

In Thailand we have 8 hours on sunlight (averaged).

What kind of equipment should I consider?

Thanks,
Alex

Alex, a 20 watt panel should give you 160 watt hrs per day, if you have 8 hrs of sun, then along with small charge controller and a battery with at least 80 amp hours of storage, to last for three days should do you. You may be best off if you get a small 12 to 120 Volt inverter if your radio already has a 120 to 5 volt adapter.
