You're Doing it Wrong

Uh, hey, Mars... Do solar-powered things still work when you put them indoors? I will wager that it makes them less effective.

Um, yeah, somewhat less effective. Generally solar panels need direct sunlight to work, they don't do so well with diffuse light. Unless it's amorphous silicon, in which case it performs quite well under diffuse light conditions. Most solar cells are crystalline or multicrystalline silicon though, so prob. doesn't work too well in this case.

By the way dude, you've got some serious catching up to do. I'm glad I didn't commit to making my blog a daily. Maybe just give up and start from October first. Short year this year.
