Labour and ongoing connectivity costs
300W panel provides significant surplus capacity beyond current camera and modem requirements
The 300W solar panel generates approximately 1,248 Wh per day in Newcastle (5.2 peak sun hours × 80% efficiency). The UNV camera (~8W) and 4G router (~8W) consume approximately 384 Wh/day in continuous operation.
This leaves a daily surplus of ~864 Wh — well over double the current system demand. The 50Ah battery (600Wh) provides a full day of backup autonomy in zero-sun conditions.
The Victron SmartSolar MPPT 100/20 load output supports up to 20A continuous (~240W at 12V). All settings configurable wirelessly via VictronConnect app. System is monitored remotely via Victron VRM portal.
