Simple, reliable, available, I love it.
Do you use an inverter to provide AC power of just a transformer to
rectify the DC voltage?
I used a little roadside emergency device that had a battery, penumatic
pump, floodlight and a few other things attached. It's basically
designed as an emergency starter, so it plays nice with car batteries.
It takes 15 volts CD in on the charger side, so we just spliced the
appropriate plug onto an available solar panel and used that to extend
the time between charges.
A friend of mine from the Vanuatu Renewable Energy and Power Assocation
put the system together, and I adapted it for use with computers. If
you're interested in the details, email me off-list and I'll put you in
touch with the guy.
