If there is a foul wind a blowin' then drop by for a chat - about coconuts of anything else off topic.

Well, the panels have done an extraordinary day here even after a casual morning.

From about 09.30hrs they have,

Filled a flat 10,000mAh battery
Brought a 27 000mAh battery up from 65% to full(9,450mAh).
Brough a 60,000mAh power brick up from 55% to 72%(10,200mAh)

Also kept two phones topped off and continuing to charge two power brick as everything else is fully charged.

29,650mAh charge give or take a touch for percentage granularity in the larger packs plus whatever is ongoing and the phonecharging.

It has been breezy today, I reckon the output is up significantly.

You know something, this feels like a trick or I've found a partial alchemy! :D :lol:

You need to connect up a couple of those fans you just bought to keep the panels cool and up their output every day!

Funnily enough, I have made no attempt to maximise output. Just lay them flat on a table (or sunlounger) and let them get on with it. Made no allowance for axis, angle or wind
Fan idea duly noted!
