What’s the power draw on the machine (raspi?)?
Whats the watts generated on the panel on a sunny moment?
it’s just a rpi which draws negligible power… ai says 4-6W max.
ive got 200W of panels. even on a cloudy day it’s substantially over provisioned.
Can you add a car battery to make it a 24 hour operation?
I could, but I like the idea of a daytime-only computer powered by the sun.
Nice.
Reminds me of https://solar.lowtechmagazine.com/about/the-solar-website/
