In the first installment of this series of articles we dealt with the technologies that permit solar energy to be collected and converted into electricity, to drive a solar-powered PC. In this second installment, we examine the components we chose to include in that PC, particularly in terms of how they meet our stringent requirements for minimal energy consumption. To that end, our Munich test labs made many measurements, which ultimately let us assemble a world-record-making desktop PC. The third and final installment in this series will provide a step-by-step description of the solar energy collection and storage system that made all this possible, so that interested readers can use it as a guide to build their own solar-powered PCs.
