   How much solar panel power do I need to run a Raspberry Pi 3?

     @lilletale Probably quite large (you are in Norway aren't you?). The !raspberry 3 has some 5Volts and 1-2 (-3?) Amps power consumption.

     @lilletale the classic #BananaPi is about as fast as the !Raspberry 2 but stays cooler.But it's still 4Watts according to my 230V Watt meter

     @lilletale Maybe you can charge some 5V power banks with the solar panels—at bright sunshine! Then you can run your ARM baord for some hours

     @lilletale there are solar-based phone chargers,but it won't work in DE nor NO (I did some research once).Maybe in Spain or parts of the USA
