In this we will go through the components you will need, a Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Board (although any board can work), a PiJuice UPS Hat, a micro SD Card, a USB to USB micro cord and a PiJuice Solar Panel. I then took this solar panel system out to one of my favourite beaches, attached a Pi Sense Hat and ran a Python script to record the local weather. This video also dives into the methods of choosing the best battery and a correctly sized solar panel for your own personal project so it can keep running 24/7 (weather permitting). I also show how to get the best out of this Solar Powered Raspberry Pi by adjusting some of the PiJuice settings by creating automatic shut down and reboot based on battery values. To adjust this easily you can connect a keyboard and mouse and monitor to they Pi. PiJuice Settings also show you the exact current coming in from the solar panels and out to be used by the Raspberry Pi.

Got my PiJuice today. It’s so good I can move it around like a laptop now. Unplug it from mains and moving it around is not an issue. With the Hyperpixel 4 touch screen too it’s a very versatile piece of kit for my projects.
Sweet! 🙂
This is exactly what I was looking for, thanks!
Thank you a lot !
I love this ❤️❤️
one question - solar pannel for home use + from normal light + battery and low battery change power from site and 100 percent recharge switch into battery?
Is there a diagram for the architecture design of this Raspberry Pi implementation?
that jaw line though jeeez
Looks like Bar Beach / Dixon Park / Merewether!
Good eye!
The best
😍
I am trying to run Pi24 (the flightradar24 image) how do I change the settings of the pi juice hat if it's not running Raspberry Pi OS?
Does PiJuice app work only on raspbian or debian too?
Have you tried PiSugar2 Pro and add solar?
No I haven't, I am interested in the Sunflower Boards by DFRobot so that may be the next solar project.
Cool.... but bloody expensive, and not that capable - this battery won't get you through to morning, even after a blazing sunny day....

This one runs 24 hours without sunlight. I think he forgot the solar panel in the specs but it was 40w if I remember right
How to plug in two components... Im disappointed theres no diy used here at all.
will the board not overheat outside?
Definitely a factor to keep on top of for long term installation. A white component box and active cooling for the Raspberry Pi will keep you in the safe.
Just had to comment before I finish... THANK YOU for requiring a MONITOR... I'm SICK of headless tutorials... Now on with the show.
Edit, now I just need to figure how to install a Monero miner. And run it solar.
You make 100 hashes it will take over a 130 years to make the money back there is already a video on it even if you bought a usb miner thats 2 watts and added it and got a bigger panel it would take decades with regular electric just to pay the $150 off for the usb miner
Ive been working on this a few days now the only way that might work is buy a top of the line 400 watt panel like LG and some good Samsung 18650 batteries and remove the psu thats converting 120 240 to 12 volt and 5 volt and keep it DC to DC then strip down a mb of everything not needed that can be stripped even cooling fans would have to go and use every little bit possible to run a good AMD chip to mine raptoreum then try moving up to a low watt gpu strip that down of everything not needed its still a big panel but you might be able to start roi

And i highly doubt we are the only ones even thinking this but id like to see my own outcome i have the know how just not the money right now after investing $2000 on reverse engineering a gpu to bypass LHR i wont make my money back until i can buy cheap cards like the 3050 bypass the LHR and make it mine like a 3060 ill mod them and resale them or just mine with them and never even tell anyone how to do it i haven’t decided yet
Very pricey project

This one runs 24 hours without sunlight. I think he forgot the solar panel in the specs but it was 40w if I remember right, $55 not counting solar panel. Maybe $160 total?
