This is no pipe dream. There are real Solar One installations running in Africa right now, providing wireless connectivity and "Internet Cafe" access to hundreds of people. This is all off-the-shelf hardware that Scott modifies to run on 12V -- and to draw less wattage than the stock versions. As Scott says, in the kind of solar-powered installations he does, "the Watt is king." http://images.vimeo.com/16/97/02/169702483/169702483_200.jpg 200 150 2051295
