<div dir="ltr">What kind of distance between the inverters and the existing internet connection? Is there line of sight between the two? Is there an electrical panel at the inverters that would allow you to install a low amperage AC circuit for powering comms
devices? Folks have made some good suggestions so far regarding building wireless bridges or using a directional (yagi) antenna to beam a wireless but depending on distance and line of sight these options may not be possible. I have successfully installed
both of these options but the devil is in the details as to whether it will work. </div>
