The weather station is 100% solar powered and provides 24/7 live weather data along with webcam access. The station is a Davis Vantage Pro2 which transmits data to a fit-PC3 running Cumulus v1.9.4. The Toshiba IK-WB80A webcam provides daytime images of the weather which are updated every 10 minutes.
Having no available access to a power grid has forced the design of an efficient yet reliable alternative energy system. The entire system consumes less than 18 watts during the day and 10 watts at night.
