I am new to this, hi! I see some folks on eBay selling $200 home built solar stations. Could anyone recommend any good options for this kind of thing? What’s the best way to configure it?

    I second the Seed solar nodes, they have been great

    Client_base is another option! The docs say it always rebroadcasts packets from or to its favorited nodes and handles all other traffic like normal client.

    So it helps your personal/neighborhood mesh without the negative big picture effects you get if you set a home node on router or something

      Heh, I always forget about client_base. My device in that role is still on firmware 2.5.0 from last year and doesn’t have client_base as an option. Gotta get it updated stat lol.
