Newbie to solar power, and general technomuppet, so you have been warned. :D I've been looking at the portable units you see advertised on Amazon but how do you calculate what size of panel to buy and what the energy it stores might power. I've got no idea what might be useful for charging a phone o...

I notice other forums have discussions on it so was curious why not here. Is it because it is not reg...

Is there any official advice? I've probably used mine for about an hour maximum each week since the lockdown started. I know I've read that under the present circumstances it's understandable if people use them a few times but wondering how much is too much?

Also a lot of the use and bin guidelines are aimed at health workers who are more like to come into direct contact with the virus and wearing masks ...
