I have a 40W solar panel with a controller and a 9AH battery. Just installed it before lots of rainy days in Sydney and it seems to be powering the TX unit fine. In a sunny country like Australia 40W is probably overkill but maybe I can use it to power some LEDs around the shed. Early days yet so I will see how it goes.

I think you want to mean the TX board.
I edited the title of the topic.

I did the math and a 9 amp hour battery would be charged by a 20 watt solar panel within 7 hours. The 9ah battery should supply up to 9 hours of charge if the circuit run at 1 amp
