A rooftop solar capture installation 2 having integrated therewith a wireless base station 1. The solar capture installation may be a solar or photovoltaic panel and power the base station directly. The base station may be configured to transmit messages indicative of the status and/or performance of the solar panel. The wireless base station may be connected to the internet via a wired interface port, wireless modem or cellular modem. Integrating a wireless base station with a solar capture installation could be used to extend coverage of a wireless network to allow further wireless devices to be connected to the Internet of Things (for example, parking meters, domestic appliances, road pricing schemes). |
