A business issue this morning cost me 25% of my battery power and with the current weather situation, cloudy and wet, that could cost me dearly. There was a brief bright period at around noon where i slammed on the breaks and stopped to put out the panel but it was short, lived. The mobile phone needs a top-up and the GPS too. It’s fair to say that this has not been the best week for solar energy but despite that, it’s been possible to get a few hours of umpc work done every day. The bad weather has also made me think long and hard about how the process can be improved. I have some notes that i am going to try to type up tonight but that, of course, depends on my battery!
