Q: I need a specific kind of wheeled chair thingy, where can I get one? A: We sell all kinds of wheels and structural steel, you can weld up exactly what you need. Q: Great. Where are the detailed instructions? Umm, that _is_ the problem. If flanging together some of the many Maker-bait bits that are currently out there is not something you already know how to do, or want to teach yourself first, then perhaps that is _not_ the right way to go. I think there _are_ tutorial courses/products that would help you to get there. But I have not investigated this myself. Basically what you want is a watt-hour meter hooked to a solar cell of a known size. That will integrate the power available to the test cell, and give you a single number, which you can scale by the ratio of test cell size to final cell array size. I don't know where to get one that works on 12V DC, though. (I have not looked.) This would be a Kill-A-Watt device for DC battery systems, rather than household AC. -- Jim _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
