Hello,
While the MB (when working!!) is a great portable charger, I was wondering about the practicality of getting a larger panel (or multiple panels) to mount permanently at my house. However, it seems that using 6v cells for this purpose is impractical. Would it be better to use 12v panels with some type of regulator? Or, what other ideas do you all have?
Thanks
George

how big is 'larger'?

Hello,
I don't know how big. That is what I am asking What would be a good panel in terms of Voltage/current? I would be looking for a panel that would be close to the limits of what the MB could handle, and charge as quickly as possible.
Thanks!

Re: Solar Panels for "Mighty" MintyBoost
it needs to be a 6V panel, under 5W is suggested
