According to the data sheet it is 125mA at the highest TX power so that would be only 0.46W with the 3.7V battery (assuming that calculation is correct, it’s been a while since I studied electronics..).

I was actually thinking of using one of the pre-built solar charging systems designed for cameras that have a USB interface. Not the cheapest solution and maybe a bigger panel than is really necessary but I’m guessing it may already have the circuitry built in so that it won’t output anything until it can output 5V.

Hopefully I’ll find some time on the weekend to finish setting it up.
