What size solar panels need a router to outdoor Meraki?
The Meraki Outdoor router is 12W. What kind of installation I need to plot this thing 24 hours a day?
You need something that will provide enough power to charge some batteries, and run the router. This means you need 12 W x 24 hours or 288 watt-hours of energy. The solar panel should provide a minimum of 288 watt-hours of energy during the day. Depending on where you live, calculate the number of hours of daylight during the shortest day of the year. If Figure 6 daylight hours as the shortest day, This means you need 48 watts per hour or 4 amps per hour, if it is a 12 volt system. A common solar panel can provide 1 amp for what would have 4 of them, if that is the size you use. Remember, this is a minimum. More capacity will not hurt.
