I have not deployed any hardware outside yet but I have been thinking about how to provide power. What would be the power budget for deploying the wind sensors, temp, humidity, and pressure sensors? My thoughts have been to be able to provide battery power with solar recharging. There are some inexpensive solar battery chargers and combine that with a adequate battery to carry things for 18 - 24 hours without sunlight the unit would be self sufficient. Add in a data collector that would be able to update the computer via wifi and there would not have to be any wires between the house and the collectors.
Any thoughts on how practical this is please let me know.
