I haven’t got a lot of details about my solar project available, but Project Curacao has all the details of a much more impressive version of the basic idea to serve as inspiration. Basically, the guys at SwitchDoc decided to mount a small solar setup with some lithium polymer batteries, a Raspberry Pi and an Arduino that could gather weather and image data unattended from a location in Curacao. My own attempts are much more meager, and not in such an exotic locale, but it will serve as good inspiration.

Just bookmarking this for now:
The NOAA Magnetic Field Calculator
This website can accept a latitude longitude (or, conveniently, a Zip code) and will give the you predictions of what the inclination and declination of the magnetic field is. John used this apparently to make predictions about the field near my location.
