| Hot spotting the panels |
Pop Quiz: Where’s a good place to put your solar panels? In the shade of your porch, or out in the blazing hot sun of Africa?
If you said “blazing hot sun of Africa”, then you are smarter than me.
For most of the day I had the panels in the shade of the porch. I was wondering why we just weren’t getting enough juice to power all our gadgets. Perhaps – I pondered – I could make the panels more efficient somehow. Maybe I could tilt then towards the sun?
And then it hit me like a ton of stoopid. Put the panels in the sun!
Ugh. Idiot.
I am currently powering up four laptops, playing music, and charging one cellphone. This is so much better than what we could do before
