+! I have solar panels and toys in my window. Its creepy at times how the solar toys can slow or even stop when it still appears sunny out. Ive also had situations right before sunset where they perk back to life. I dont see anything different, but Ive assumed its a different wave length or something.
Hell, Ive spent a few hours laying under my solar array with a vom just taking readings and notes. Same thing, the poly crystal cells behaved one way while the monocrystals behaved another.
If you want to use ambient light to extend the run time of your phone you need to measure the light and design the solar array after it.
