I want it to be very reliable, which means as few points of failure as possible. The initial versions will have a very simple, inefficient circuit. I plan to use supercapacitors for the storage, for their long life. Ideally the solar panel would produce a voltage no higher than the rated voltage of the supercaps. | I want it to be very reliable, which means as few points of failure as possible.
