I wonder if there are examples ofself-contained Raspberry Pi based systems, e.g. solar panel, e-ink display, raspberry pi + casing? It would make installation so much more flexible if one wouldn’t need power cords…

@tkoola and yes, Pi Juice exists, adding a solar panel is not difficult... ideas flowing

@tkoola There are many DIY solutions, like this one, but I guess you're after something more turn-key?

Have you seen Low-tech Magazine's solar-powered website? It's an off-grid webserver. When the weather is bad, a battery kicks in. When the battery gives up, the website goes down. 😅

And my favorite thing: the website's background color indicates the capacity of the solar-charged battery.
