Since this was a non-standard install, we had to do some back and forth with the ISP to make an installation appointment. Be prepared to have to make multiple appointments as customer service wants to get you signed up, but the service techs may take issue with the installation. You'll want to provide your own modem instead of getting one from the ISP.

Make sure you've got a spot that will get decent sunlight year round. If you're in a shaded location, you may not get enough power.

I chose a Job Site box to house the cable modem and the solar power hardware (charge controller and battery) since it's somewhat compact and secure. I located the box within a reasonable distance from the ISP port and within a reasonable distance for the solar panels.

The service tech was a bit apprehensive about running to a job site box. If you think this might be an issue, a small shed may be more "normal"

The ISP will likely want a ground rod co-located with the hardware. Install the ground rod next to where the electronics are housed.

The ISP installer won't install unless you have power to your devices for testing.

Why now before running fiber? Because the ISP tech might say no. It took two service calls and a conversation with the area supervisor before they installed it for me. If they saw no, at least you can try to return your equipment.

If they say no after you run 100m to 5km of fiber optic cable, that wouldn't be a good day.

Connect the media converter on the receiving end of the cable to your WiFi router or other device.
