Cloudy and no Mesh
Yeap, it a cloudy day in Toronto and my solar panel did not have enough energy to turn on the wireless Mesh. Funny the box said it works in cloudy days. I guess it meant sorta work. You know like it works but it is not efficient.
I hope tomorrow the sun comes out and turn the unit back on. I am very disappointed at the observation. I would have thought that some energy would have trickled in.
I have 3 solar panels charging one battery. It sure looks like I need another source of energy like wind power to be added.
In Florida I saw solar panels every where. In Toronto I see solar panels charging up the parking meters. I figure with all these solar panels there should be a source of continuous power. I may need 12 units and 3 batteries. Gosh I hope not.
I guess my MeshAP even though it low power still is not low enough.

Appreciate the work you've put into this and also for posting. It answers many of my questions, since I live at a similar latitude. Late year solar insolation is weak, which really strains equipment. Good luck and I hope you keep up the experiments!
