@strypey:matrix.org@strypey:matrix.org When you say laptop I presume you mean the usual clamshell form factor? You could put it on the back of the screen and leave it in the sun when you're not using it. In theory, you could face into the sun when you used it, but ... 😏 10:41:46
@strypey:matrix.org@strypey:matrix.org We were charging cell phones on solar panels not much larger than a laptop screen back in the early 2000s. Panels have a much higher generation capacity now per cm2 of panel now than those ones. So it wouldn't need to track the sun, as long as there's some light on it you'd get a reasonable trickle charge. 10:51:06
@strypey:matrix.org@strypey:matrix.org Whether it would be enough, would depend on how you're using it and how much time it gets in the sun, but it would at least extend the time it would last before it needed plugging in. 10:54:31
@strypey:matrix.org@strypey:matrix.org The ideal solution would be to have a transparent solar panel as a screen protector and work with the sun behind you, but I don't know if this tech is production-ready yet:

@rendeko:matrix.org@rendeko:matrix.orgAs far as I know the current goal for the Nomad prototype is availability, so I'll adding more parts such as a solar panel for now. There's always room for experimentation when we get the base prototype out.05:40:41

@strypey:matrix.org@strypey:matrix.orgFair enough. Something to keep an eye on for future iterations. Or as an optional extra? I know small panels with a USB connector for charging mobiles are already commercially available ...06:51:03
