Provide off-grid power for your IOT devices.
The concept is to charge a commonly available portable phone charger which provides 5v USB power to your microcontroller.
The mounting angle is adjustable for optimal sun angle.
Note: Not all portable chargers can provide power out while receiving power in. Ensure that your portable charger battery can power your device while being charged by the solar panels.
