I participated in G1G1 and am now happily hacking my XO. Thanks to JoshSeal, who sent me some of his power-plug samples, I am now trying to come up with useful renewable sources of power. So far, I've sent away for two non-amorphous 10W solar panels, and am happy to say they've arrived and are everything I'd hoped for! The site I bought them from, seemed a bit of a gamble, as the page was fraught with discrepancies. So now I have what appear to be two Suntech STP010-12/Kb 10 Watt polycrystalline panels. In case anyone would like to know where I got them, it was http://rvprotectionproducts.com/index.php?p=product&id=1611&parent=0.
If you check it out, be aware that the page should be taken with a grain of salt. They are 10W panels, at least in my case, and not 30W as the overview states. Also, it references the STA010-12 in one place, which appears to be a more recent model, but as said, I was sent STP010-12/Kb panels. Anyway, I think I was lucky and got exactly what I wanted. Also, everyone should be aware that I am adapting these panels to the XO myself, with the power-plugs samples that Josh was so nice to send me. Thanks again, Josh!
