I'm only half kidding. I'm a bit of a prepper and I have lots of powerbanks and devices that charge from USB but besides idling my truck I really had no other way to charge any of them in case of a long-term power outage which seemed a bit of an oversight on my part.

Not like this solves the issue. 30 watts (under ideal conditions) isn't much but it's a start.

Check back in 2-3 years when I (hope to) get an EV. I'm sure I'll be crowing about it then ๐Ÿ˜†

In the mean time, would you like to hear about my solar powered lawn mower?

Unironically yes haha. I hope it's just a manual lawn mower that you have your son push around.

Lol, no. And if you were expecting something clever like a goat, sorry to disappoint lol. Just a basic battery-electric push mower that I've charged from solar panels all season.
