I am considering a box like this one to setup my Tx section, also solar powered: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/ELDON-ELECTRI...51cf11d0c4
I have already used a 300 x 250 x 150mm box for a remote solar powered sensor light I setup very successfully. In fact my Tx board is propped up in it right now on extended test literally because that was the most convenient battery (9ah) supply available. A 40 watt panel keeps the system charged and running year round.
I notice you mentioned an inverter. Did you mean to say charge controller instead? The Tx will run on 12 volts, so you can save space and power on the inverter
