My solar panel system is ready for testing. Two "6V 3W" panels connected in parallel. This weird backplane is connecting them using the ancient Chinese technique of hot glue. Using that screw I should be able to mount them to something.
Initial measurements show that this gizmo is making 180mA at 6V (~1.1W) with light clouds.
I'm waiting for a USB current meter, and soon I should be able to continue my "powering Raspberry Pi Pico" blog series.
