Comment on A website that runs on a solar-powered server in Barcelona

Comments

I tried something similar with a 40w panel, 9ah 12v lead acid battery and a raspberry pi. Unfortunately the RPI would always drain the battery to empty each night which I think trashed the lifespan of the battery. Now I just use it to charge my phone.

Possibly something like an ESP32 would suffice as a web server.
