While I was away on my short vacation, one of the locals here texted to say that we had two cloudy days in a row and he was entering the 2nd evening with 40% battery..... and his wife started the oven and the clothes dryer. arrrggghhhhh..... I suggested he get a small tablet to display SOC and other system details on the kitchen counter and he said "meh, she's already got the app in her phone". lol.
He ended up buying 87c of power "just in case".

Got another mesh node put together yesterday. Waiting for small magnetic feet in the mail. We're gunna see if we can "drone kerplunk" it on top of a 150ft tall truck stop sign near I-20.
We figure on top of the sign, not a soul will see it and the sloped sides should keep the wind from blowing it off.
And I put another repeater together inside a conduit Tee using a solar patio light today.

As of yesterday, we have 100% reliable off grid texting from Sumter to Florence SC. We've got a growing group of about a dozen of us in a chatroom. One of the guys is a helo pilot for the air national guard and he's seeking sites that will get us further west into Columbia SC area. Another guy is near Camden along I-20 and he too is working on some sites.
The meshcore stuff is growing organically.
