Weather was inconsistent clouds rather than straight-up rain earlier, so got to test my portable solar panel.
Grey clouds: 0 watts, unsurprisingly.
Thick white clouds: Single-digit watts.
Enough sun for defined shadows: 20+ watts.
Enough sun to feel warm: 40+ watts, peaking at 60 for the thinnest clouds.
Of course, this is without figuring out an ideal angle, whilch I figure I'll need an actual straight-up clear sunny day to do.
