The reference station has two main assemblies: a solar panel on an aluminum frame, and an enclosure containing the battery, controller, and USB output hardware. Both attach to an existing suitable pole.

Read system design first, then use the parts budget to understand the material categories. This page covers the assembly sequence and the reviewed mounting procedure. Exact fabrication dimensions and the final wiring/protection schedule still need to be reconciled into a complete build package.
