Expectation

We are all dressed-up and ready to hike. We are receiving the summer solstice at mount Saana, with our solar panel and our batteries ready to capture the sun in all its glory next to the remains of planes from the WWII, and close to a beautiful frozen pond we chose. There is only one problem with that: the sun has been hidden behind a thick layer of clouds for more than a day now. We are worried about rain, if it rains there is nothing we can do. The cloudy sky is bad too, but we designed our battery charger to work in the worst possible light conditions we could imagine, and we had imagined way worst conditions than this. Earlier we made a test and we seem to be perfectly able to charge a AA battery every hour. This the start of an important day for the project, we are excited and we hope it doesn't rain on us.
