Gianni,

I've always found solar panels disappointing. They need full sun and a
passing cloud reduces the output to about 1/10th. They are also very visibl=

and prone to theft. You can't disguise them like a ground level mic rig and=

recorder.

That's why I recently suggested using robust Yuasa lead acid batteries whic=

are cheap and small.
