As stated in the blog, my solar panel produces way more power during 'peak solar' moments than both the Pi and the battery can consume (charging).
So I'm trying to keep my iPad charged up with this setup too (kind of a hobby). So you may notice during the day that the solar production is 60+ watt and the load could be similar.
- qqqwerty 6y agoNice! A few days ago I dusted off some cheap panels I had lying around and started using them to charge my phone and other devices. I figured since I was WFH might as well put those panels to use. The added bonus is that now that I am charging my phone during the day, I am less likely to use it. I was also planning on doing something similar to your setup which is why I had the panels in the first place. I have a backyard with decent sun exposure, so compared to your setup, it would almost be cheating. Maybe a blogroll of solar powered blogs is in order!
- louwrentius 6y agoThank you. Please pull through on your project, to start a movement :) Just reuse an old car battery from craigslist or something to power the setup during the night.
