hello, anybody off to sunrise festival this week?

im taking a solar powered mobile phone/camera/mp3 player charging stall but it needs a name!!!
the winning suggestion gets the glory of their name painted on the sign in slick baby blue paint wot i found in the cupboard, and FREE charging all week. yeah, it doesnt get much better than that.
i guess the name should include somthing relating to the sun…??
basically, suggest me some names before tonight so i can make loads of money at a festival while you are in work all week….:weee:
cheers, matt

provided the kit is insulated and doesn’t short circuit there will be still be enough sunshine to charge the batteries, even if its pissing down otherwise. even now I think there is enough sunlight to charge a solar panel, but I don’t have one handy to conduct an experiment and I’m not going out in the cold and wet anyway…

yeah i know. it just made me chuckle to think of anything sun related at the moment.
i used to have solar panels on my truck and they do charge in this light but not much. depends which ones you’ve got though.

well, the met weather thing says ”generally there will be a good deal of dry, bright and warm weather, and this will last into the coming weekend” . right now its bright sunshine here (scotland….) so the batteries are charging very nicely.
the panel is amorphous, so significantly better in low light levels than poly or mono crystalline panels 😉
charging 5 phones will take absolutley no more than 5 amps (this is what i will fuse the inverter at). the battery bank is 100ah- so potentially when fully charged i can run for 20 hours with no charge from the panel. (a rough estimate but you can see my point).
Anyway, on with the competition!

i had one on the roof of my trailer and in winter there bloody useless, used to get enough through on a winders day to runn a 5-15 w lamp for 30 mins of a night. in summer you could leave a 12v tv on all night and still have power for the morning…
