Sony Homebrew Solar power conversion

[gkowen]

Has anyone done one? I am thinking of a project to play around with.  It seems solar limit where the camera can go but will also make the battery last much longer.  I think I will start with this charger. Its probably more expensive than I can find elsewhere but it appears to have all I need in it. Will just have to do a little wiring.

for $20 it's worth a shot, although if put under cover (trees) I'm not sure how good it would work. It's possible though, batteries only need a slight trickle to keep them alive, so it might work. Small price for an experiment. let us know how it goes.

     Worth a shot, would be awsome if it worked, but would it work well in the trees?

It would not work in the trees very well but there is usually an opening close by. And with a 5.5 volt output, I could run the wires a ways if needed.
