Getting the hang of it

Looking for someone who can suggest a solar panel setup that will power a wireless bridge antenna to a POE switch and 2 possibly 3 4K POE cameras that won't run out of power overnight.
Nothing very expensive like we see in some parking lots at large stores or setups like some police use.
I could also eliminate the POE switch and come off the 12v to the 12v pigtail on the cameras if better.
This is going to be in a large cemetery and can not run buried wire there due to graves so looking for some system that someone has setup and tried that will work.
Thank you in advance for any input that will guide me to a decision.
Ron

I must be the only one to attempt to install one of these solar systems.
I am contacting this company for guidance as their system seems straight forward.
 
It’s expensive. Expect to spend a several grand on the buildout. That much power draw 24/7 will require large panels and batteries.

Doing some quick math to give you an idea of power requirements:

PoE switch (preferably powered from the 12/24/48v battery) = 5W - 10W baseline
3 cams @ 10W/cam = 30W
PtP airMAX NanoBeam 5AC = 9W

So you are at ~50w continuous power draw 24/7/365. Assuming a 24v battery you are drawing ~.5Ah or 12A per day e.g. (24v / 50W = .48Ah) * 24 hours.

If you purchased a 100Ah 24V lithium phosphate battery that would give you approx ~8days power before the battery was drained 100%. So you need to take that into consideration when buying your panels and also plan for rainy days/weeks where the panels won't get illuminated for a full 10-12 hour day.
