Here we have the parts, small huh!
We have 4 x 5v @ 100mA (.5 watt) solar panels
The 2000mA battery
The board which charges the battery and ultimately to the USB device
Some perspective
This is my 5v @ 100mA (.5 Watt) solar panel.
Soldered them in parallel to boost the amps from 100mA to 400mA
(5v @ 400mA which is 2 Watts)
Here is the size of the panels, almost exactly the size a CD case.
Take it into the bathroom and I find a sleeping monkey! Saru! oh and the completed solar charger :P Is it working I wonder?
YES! (See Red light under the CH)
Awesome :D Next will be to take it out into the real world and time the charge.
