Since there are already custom made solar panels in use, I was wondering if your manufacturer could add random patterns to it as described here to get 22% more efficiency:

Received my today! Perfect fit, thank you very much..
But honestly, I was thinking that plastic should be clean-slick. Current plastic will catch all dust from anywhere, this material like a cloth.. :/
Mhm... One thing I noticed only when I tried to take it off again: I can't. Or hardly can't. It took me 20min and two nail files to get the solar OH off my Jolla again. And I now have a crack in the phone.
Dirk, I suspect you put it on and off various times during development. Is there anything I'm missing?
Going to hopefully more sunny location soon, will have some data to share. Any idea what are the effects of jolla with solarOH going through xray machine? Is it going to explode? Supercharge in 1 second? Get some super powers?

I find it works best if you start at the sides (in contrast to the Jolla OHs, where you start at the bottom).
1) Presumably it doesn't do it any harm if I plug it in to a charger *and* leave it in the sun?
2) Is it significantly better for the life of the solar panel / electronics to not leave it in light that isn't strong enough to charge from? I.e. does it generate current all the time, and 'wear itself out', or will it only generate a current if there's enough to charge with, or is wearing it out not a significant worry?
