Info

The statistics page for the PC's uptime counts the time the solar-powered computer was active each day. If the system is shut down due to insufficient energy and then restarted when energy is restored, this is noted in the statistics.

    Something me and my wife were talking about. Solar panels are expensive, but if you make a small investment it will cut down your power bill every month or you can make a large investment go independent and sell excess back to the electric company.
