Q: How much English sunlight are we talking about? Is just leaving the radio on the windowsill enough, or does it need to be a sunny day? If I buy one, should I for example leave it in the greenhouse for a bit first? Or would that fry it if the sun came out?
A: According to the manufacturer; "best performance of the solar panel will be achieved when the sun is directly overhead, and the sunlight is unobstructed by clouds, foliage, curtains, and the like. In certain situations and poorer light conditions, the solar panel may not be effective and should not be relied upon as the primary energy source for standard usage. The solar panel is designed as a supplementary energy source which under suitable light conditions is able to contribute up to 100% of the radio's energy requirement."
If you use it for a couple of hours a day on a south facing windowsill you should never need to charge it. However, if it's used for longer or in poorer conditions it may need the occasional top-up or charge outdoors.
I hope this helps,
Marty
