I am new to this, hi! I see some folks on eBay selling $200 home built solar stations. Could anyone recommend any good options for this kind of thing? What's the best way to configure it?

I, and several others, have been very happy with the "Ultimate Solar Radio Node" that is available from PeakMesh on Etsy. It runs around $130 and it works perfectly. Ours has now been up for most of a year and has not required any attention at all.

There are also plenty of options for building your own. I found that doing it myself the way I wanted to wasn't going to save me all that much money. Being lazy, I bought one off-the-shelf.
