I know its not quite pc's but its a techy kind of subject.

In previous vists to phill i have taken over solar powered battery chargers most not very efficent so not that useful.

But i noticed even Maplin now has (if you got a spare grand) 150 w solar panels which in three or four years with a ten year warranty may mean if they say quarter of the price could generate enough to power a small to medium size electric fan, a light and possibly a small lcd tv


I found one link with some info and will be sending over some trial panels with the missus to be tested by a techy uncle.

Do others use solar power in phill or elsewhere?
