Matt-
I tend to agree with Sage's thoughts on this, but I also
think the unit you've identified looks like it would certainly
be useful, so if you've already started a fund-raising process
that you are excited about, I say go for it.
We have an excellent solar charger already and apparently another
that arrived yesterday. Our problem with a solar infrastructure isn't
a technical one, but a social, human resource one in my view. We need to
have people who are willing and able to hook batteries up to panel charge
controllers in the morning, angle them during the day to get good sun,
and swap batteries out once they're charged. That's the main thing we
are missing now in my opinion. Do you know anyone who might be willing
to help with this (slightly different) problem? I would be happy
to meet any time with volunteers, show them how to use a multimeter,
troubleshoot, etc.
Solidarity,
Dana
