Running PMR446 off solar power

Alot of people miss one important component out when it comes to a radio setup and that's back up power,say something happens like a power cut,are you prepared ? Most are not,on this post i'm going to list a very simple solar power back up system.

Here's a list of things you will need to buy

  1. 12 volt Solar Panel  (5 watts minimum)
  2. 12 volt SLA battery (5AH minimum )
  3. 12 volt charge controller  (10amp)
  4. 12v power inverter (optional)
Setting up this system is very easy
