[RE-wrenches] Tigo RSS Off Grid

[bob at midnitesolar.com]

Hi Jeremy...

The Classic AUX outputs will put out about 13 volts and allow up to 
about 200 mA maximum.
That might be enough to power the transmitter. That is only about 2.5 
watts so might not work
directly.

Docked at Trinidad/Tobago today.  Great sun here.  Have only seen one PV 
module on this cruise so far.
