Hi everyone,

We're novices in terms of solar powered streaming but we are in the middle of testing our solar rig in a wintery, dark Norfolk UK. Happy to share what info/data we have if there's anything specific people want to know...

We have 2 x 100w solar panels
Charge controller
60ah 12v battery
Pi 3
Focusrite 2i2 soundcard

The average yield from the panels over the last couple of weeks has been between 80 and 100wh per day. The average consumption for the rig between 40 and 50wh per day.

Grant. I would love to see that too. Have been exploring moving some of my work to Teensy 3.6 as they are much less power hungry, but have not got the solar controller and charging right yet.

hi udo

we worked out a recipe for the stream in the mountains about morelia in Mexico, which has worked well after a lot of trials and tuning - so I'd say we have 1st hand experience!

my notes on that are a mess. I will sort them out and share
