Impressive.

It might be very interesting to chat.

I'd appreciate if you dropped me an email to dfong <a.t> lightsailenergy.com :-)

Same. What was the widget? Been thinking of hiring someone to do some board layout work to build these.

It's just an off-the-shelf Barix Barionet 50. It does the job well, and only draws a watt or two (literally).

Not terribly impressive, but $150 worth of my own work wouldn't have been able to drop the power usage to those levels.
