Sure! I am still experimenting and changing things around, but here is my current setup.
12v 10Ah sealed lead acid battery
Instapark 20w solar panel with solar charge controller
Pololu step down switching regulator
Logitech c270 webcam (USB)
Edimax wifi dongle (USB)
With this setup I am running 24/7 "off the grid." We'll see how well it works in the winter. The webcam and wifi can be directly connected to the RPi. You don't need a powered hub. This greatly simplifies things. The goal is to eventually swap out the SLA battery for a 12.8v LiFePO4 and house everything in a waterproof enclosure made from a Pelican case. I also have a powered hub and a GlobalSat GPS unit that I'd like to add at some point. The logitech camera is not that great. I'll look into replacing it once we know more about the add on camera coming from the Raspberry Pi foundation.
