Dishy is going to Macdoel, California, off of the grid, to run an SDR transceiver on 10 acres where I can have any antenna I want. There are currently "1200 watts" of solar (derate that to 25% for practical use) and a bunch of lead-acid batteries in a 48V system, inside of a hi-cube freight container. Currently my plan is to plug the router into an inverter. The one on hand is pure sine, but I don't expect Dishy to care. Switching power supplies generally have a wide voltage range and are independent of wave shape or frequency or even whether the input is AC or DC. I'd be interested if anyone else has had to produce off-grid power for Dishy, and how they have done it.
