A project log for Solar Powered Mobile Device Charging Hat

Solar cells in the hat charge an internal LiFePO4 battery, which can then charge any mobile device via USB

I took a hat with the solar cell trays installed and left it in the rain for a few hours, letting it get nice and soaked. I then tested to ensure it still worked, which it did. You can see the video below:

I'm still waiting on the new battery charging system and enclosure, once that is done I can test that as well. But at least the solar cells work in the rain.
