Okay here is a concept for the group. I am wondering if Edison could be solar powered, and I am asking what kind of considerations would need to be made to ensure that it provides enough power to an Edison mini breakout board with a li-ion battery. My thought is that Edison draws from the li-ion battery and the panels provide the ongoing charge. The goal is a solar powered self sufficient Edison.
- 4 or 6 panels: 3"x6" solar cell panels - 15% efficiency, 0.5A x 3.6V 1.8W each panel.
- Lithium Ion battery
PS: My background is in software, so be easy on me when discussing this, but I think it could make a nice project for the Edison community
