Solar charging in the UK

I have earlier written about my Solargorilla/Powergorilla - and I have tried charging the Powergorilla from the Solargorilla solar panel

(Click for larger image)

Yesterday was overcast - and I could not get the charging going at all.

But today was very sunny, and the Powergorilla started charging as soon as I connected it (as you can see I hung it up outside using the supplied velcro strap. After a couple of hours the Powergorilla was fully charged (it was showing 3/4 charge when I started) - so quite good.

I do suspect from last weekend when I tried charging it from fully discharged that at this time of the year it will not be possible to fully charge the Powergorilla with one Solargorilla in one day. This may be why the company sells a cable where 2 Solargorillas can be connected at the same time.

But I'm happy!
