A simple ultra-low power ARM/MIPS chip[perhaps overkill for initial cutoff or scaling slowdown tracking at 2-4%] and reserve battery [much like a reserve tank, perhaps Ni-MH] could easy handle the DC charge from the panel. EST wholesale cost 20-50$ including panel. I shot them an email after more thought was given.…

It's the same device, and they've had a crapton of design flaws, but an insane number of sales. Perhaps you missed this gem where Apple's R&D costs and budget are going DOWN: [www.zdnet.com] Oh, and as of…
