Off-grid power, field RF, and optional WAN — source index (Demory planning)

Evidence summary

Field Content
Abstract Theme-based index into NREL/Victron PDFs, Meshtastic operator captures, HaLow datasheets/articles, and Starlink spec PDFs for off-grid-first SITE_FARM planning—paired with a 2026-04-23 electrical batch note.
Authority mix Federal lab + vendor docs + captured operator docs; Starlink/Morse as vendor primary.
Decision relevance Informs power domain doctrine, field RF layering (mesh vs HaLow vs Wi‑Fi), WAN as optional backhaul, and validation gates—not sizing without measured loads.
Canonical wiki links Off-grid systems doctrine package — Demory · Off-grid power doctrine — Demory · Mesh and field networking strategy — off-grid Demory farm

Key claims (public-safe):

  • NREL off-grid modules emphasize design discipline and O&M—not a substitute for AHJ electrical rules or site-specific shading/soiling.
  • Meshtastic captures document power and roles at ingest time—verify against current upstream docs before deploy.
  • HaLow and Starlink materials are technology context for range and WAN; field layout and security are synthesis pages.

Open questions / follow-ups

  • Measured load inventory and battery/SOC targets remain on site baselines and execution phases—not in this index.

Purpose: Durable provenance index for SITE_FARM (Demory, Campbell County) when the business plan treats the production parcel as off-grid-first (solar + battery default; WAN secondary). Does not assert kW, Ah, or wire sizes — those are local engineering after loads are metered .

Batch hub (PDFs + same-era captures): Electrical, networking, and Starlink — inbox batch (2026-04-23).
