Workshop: Solar Panel Build Night
Date: Wed, 18 Mar 2015, 18:00 - 23:00
Venue: Leicester Hackspace, Makers' Yard
Going solar powered with 5V 1A (so 5W) solar panels. Get yourself one of the free 5 solar panels we have to use in one of your projects. This 5W panel weighs only 225g, with mounting holes so that it can easily be attached to a backpack, tent, car, whatever really. 5W is enough power to charge a typical smartphone in 3-4 hours (in direct sunlight).
To get one of these free solar panels, all you need to do is come along to the build night, with a project in mind, and post about it on instructables. Anyone that posts on instructables about how their project went gets to keep the solar panel, but you are also welcome just to come to the build night to play.
