+Q2: In reference to renewable energy sources, why is there concern about the stability of the grid?
+A2: PV energy production is unreliable due to various reasons, one being weather patterns.
+Q3: Why create a self sufficient sensor network?
+A3: By creating a self sufficient sensor network you are forming methods to track weather conditions and predict future weather patterns.
+Q4: What database does the current weatherbox use?
+A4: Relational Database (PostgreSQL).
+Q5: What transceiver does the current weatherbox use?
