Bens out of the office today.....

And working from his solar station - Genuinely
If screen technology was better (which I think it is now) it would be a joy to go to work :D
Internet radio streaming BBC Radio 2 from the wireless router 60 meters away.

Obvious to most, but for others, the solar panel charges a 110 Amp hour sealed lead acid battery within the battery box, then via a 20 amp fuse the power is fed into a 12-240v invertor that powers the laptop.

Bit of a crazy way to do it, but I dont yet have a 12v laptop power adapter.

Re: Bens out of the office today.....

12v laptop power adapter made by trust is excellent. I`m now using on in the garden shed where my laptop is on 24/7... paid £6 in a sale. Its more energy efficient than the invertor,but if your a radio ham there is a lot of interference produced from invertors on th eHF band... Worth mentioning if anyone is making a eco radio shack for their radio hobby.
