Congratulations!
Isn’t mine, I just shared the link.
But yeah I am slowly working one something similar. Main problem right now are the batteries… as usual 😒
Always nice to see solar projects, although I wonder why the author didn’t try to lower the Pi’s power consumption. This would have been the first thing I would have done when trying to optimize things. 5 W is quite a lot for a Raspberry Pi and there are a couple of things one can do to lower its power consumption.
This is exactly what I was looking for!
I even went throughout the same thought process as well, trying to stay within the expensive, but fool-proof consumer electronics segment. The only thing that stopped me so far was that the powerbanks with passthrough charging and good capacity are either out of stock, or prohibitively expensive.
I’ll go this way, despite the regulator being rather large in size for the purpose.
