[SMCARA] solar project

[Carlos]

Very cool project indeed.  Particularly the version 2 being discussed.  I would probably use a powered USB hub or better yet, harvest the parts from a 12V USB charger with multiple ports. The hub approach as listed will be limited to one 2.1A device or two 1A devices.

And the best part, a 16 yr old kid came up with it! Awesome.
