Have had an XO charging for 3:30 h now, from flat - no response state. Not an ideal angle for the panel, but nevertheless I expected some more than 52% battery. Same placement than the May 28 test, so, yes, the sun is lower in the horizon in March. |

16:40 update
Have had an XO charging for 3:30 h now, from flat - no response state. Not an ideal angle for the panel, but nevertheless I expected some more than 52% battery. Same placement than the May 28 test, so, yes, the sun is lower in the horizon in March.
Just arrived
they're 16" x 22" (40 cm x 55 cm)
They have an XO-capable plug already. The photo shows the data sticker on the back
The solar panels are embedded in a fiberglass-looking support, mounting holes in the corners, some sort of a regulator in a box on top
