  1. Hi there,

    Any chance that you might be able to do a review on the new SunMax SolarPoint? This looks like a product that was inspired by your wonderful video on Solar.

    A video on this would be awesome!

    Thank you,
    Jase

  2. Chris!
    This is amazing. I’ve been watching your videos obsessively since a solar consultant steered me toward the Ubiquiti Nanostation 5. I am working in the California desert, and have been steered toward the Nanostations for building a system where I power a MoFi Router from a couple of solar panels then send the signal through a Nano5 to our cabin.

    So we would pick up the internet from a cell tower with a pair of MIMO yagi antennas…feed it into the modem and then into the Nano5…all powered by a couple of 100 watt panels just above the two antennas. The MOFI router has a LAN port that would connect via an injector to the Nano5…then across the canyon to our cabin, where a off-grid solar system would power a “Station” and an access point.

    Am I correct in assuming that if I just moved the architecture over to the LAN side of your drawing then I could put a station and wifi access point at the cabin? If I up the number of panels I could even put a camera on the Bridge side (with the panels, the Router and the Nano5).

    Do you have any thoughts?
