Design Philosophy for This Kit
- KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid)
Minimise the parts needed, and include all cables/accessories in the kit.
The solar controller chosen needs no onsite programming; it is pre-configured by us.
The included DIN rail mount simplifies (and neatens) the on-site installation.
- Low Self-Consumption
By focusing on electronics that are very efficient and draw very little power themselves, the overall system design preserves the battery reserves for the powered devices. - The Solar Charger in this kit has very low self consumption (0.2 Watts).
- The POE-DC PoE injector(s) also has a very low self-consumption (0.2 Watts).
- One Enclosure
To keep costs down, this kit is designed around a LiFePO4 (Lithium) battery that offers these advantages over Lead-Acid:- Smaller (and lighter) for the same energy capacity, and
- Does not emit corrosive fumes - so can share an enclosure with electronics.
- 24 and 48 V PoE supported
At least one 24 V PoE injector, and an Outdoor/Grounded Ethernet cable are included, as most installations will have at least one 24 V Ubiquiti radio device to provide network connectivity.
Some installations will need to power a second PoE device that may be 24 or 48 V. The kit is ready for additional PoE injectors as need.
Please see our other 15 W Solar Kits that include support for 1, 2, or 3 PoE devices.
- Battery Included
A 600 Wh LiFePO4 battery is included with this kit. The specific brand chosen fits in the enclosure along with the electronics.
- Solar Panel Cables Included
Cables with standard MC4 connectors are included in the kit, with a special two-conductor cable gland simplifying the cable exit path from the enclosure.
- Support for additional external PoE cables
This kit includes a drill bit and plugs for a total of 3 outdoor Cat5e cables exiting from the enclosure.
Description
This kit is designed to power devices with a total load of up to 15 Watts (W), with 24/7 (hrs/days) availability*.
The 15 Watts figure excludes the system load (solar charger & PoE injector(s)) which has already been included in the calculations.
The device load could be:
Availability *
Designing a solar system with sufficient battery capacity to cover 24 hr periods in the height of summer is easy.
But the depth of winter is the real test of the system.
The table below gives the theoretical duration that the battery alone can power this system plus the device load.

Features
- Complete DIY Solar kit. Battery, and solar panel included.
- Expandable. Additional PoE injectors can easily be added to support more than one PoE device - e.g. add a PoE camera.
- Weatherproof. Designed to be out in the elements. All exterior components are UV stable and weatherproof.
- Flexible Voltage PoE. Ready to power:
- 24 V (e.g. Ubiquiti airMAX products), and
- 48 V (e.g. Ubiquiti UniFi products, and 3rd party cameras, etc.)
- One enclosure. We recommend only using LiFePO4 (Lithium) batteries with this kit, as they do not emit corrosive fumes.
- Wire harnesses included.
- All cabling required comes pre-assembled and ready to use.
- Connectors are either colour coded, and/or polarised so costly mistakes, such as connecting a battery backwards, are avoided.
- Installation Guide included.
Recommended External PoE Cables
We only recommend external PoE cables with:
- stranded conductors
- short-boots
Other cables will be over-flexed when inserting into the PoE-DC injectors.
