I am looking for advice putting together a solar setup to power a PoE camera and cellular router/gateway/modem. The cell modem is a Sierra Wireless RZ50. The camera I am leaning towards is an Axis P5515-E ... but if there is a reason that is not a good choice I am open to another option. I noticed some of the higher end solar controllers/chargers have ether ports on them for sending alerts/status updates of the solar system... so I am guessing I would need some sort of switch to use a feature like that along with the camera.
All of the hardware will be mounted about 25' - 30' up on a wood pole. What size panel do I need? What size batteries do I need? What sort of controller do I need? The camera, modem, and any other associated electronics need to run 24x7 with room to spare. This installation will be in north Texas near Fort Worth.
