I’ve been playing around with energy harvesting to make my ePaper weather display run on batteries. It’s kind of working, but the solar cell I’m using is pretty small and we really find get enough sun up in the north. It is still running though and if it can last until summer the battery should charge back up to full capacity.

Nicely done. Have you tried connecting it with a larger panel and see if you can get rid of that battery draining during Winter? I'm curious to hear how your battery copes over time.
