Adventures in Solar
So, I ordered a couple of solar panels from ebay/amazon, and it was sunny today - it's time to hook them up.
The "13W briefcase panel" was chucking about 11W into the Halfords powerpack (Lead-acid battery). Bear in mind this is with no charge-controller, just the raw panel plugged straight into the power-pack.
The smaller "trickle charger" looked like it would manage just over a watt
I need to test these on an overcast day to get more or a realistic idea of their capabilities...
Ideal for camping - assuming there's some sunshine!
