Update on the design of solar panel frames
As well as the design that has already gone into production, a similar one has been conceived for the larger mono crystalline plate. One of the differences being the need to construct the holder for recharging 3 AA rechargeable batteries differently, as this plate is of smaller dimensions than the glass plate. Also, in this design the plate and the back slide out and it also features a basic two-pin socket made with strips of metal for ease of operation. The radio used in this demonstration was adapted with the transformer removed so the radio could operate on DC power. Further work will be necessary to finalise design.
