Try these pages. They are about someone doing essentially the same thing you are planning. http://www.kenkifer.com/bikepages/touring/laptop.htm http://www.briandesousa.com/bicycling/bikecurrent/solar.htm Ken Kifer wrote a few messages on the subject in the Libretto list back in the spring of 2000. He also recommended this page: http://www.bicyclinglife.com/ Try these pages of the archives for some of Ken's messages: http://libretto.basiclink.com/archive/digest949.htm http://libretto.basiclink.com/archive/digest950.htm I hope this helps.

I plan on charging most of the day, with minimal use in the evening. There exist bike mountable units which could supply as much as 20 Watts at 15 Volts in direct sunlight. This would charge a Lib as per a mains transformer. However, what troubles me is that the Power fluctuation inherent may cause the lib circuitry to reject a diminished supply current/voltage. This would not be a problem in itself, but would be a problem if prolonged exposure to Power fluctuation damaged either circuitry or battery. Can anyone recommend a solar guru? Will anyone give me Bill Cotten's address?
