Tests in summer at a un-shaded site show that the camera can run continuously (in Normal mode) without interruption for mixed sunny, cloudy, and rainy days. Even during an overcast day it still produces enough energy for the camera to run during daytime. The new Big Solar Model, in a sunny day, generates more energy than the camera can use for whole day (24 hrs). In order to run the camera in consecutive overcast and rainy days, a battery dock (WxH 3-1/8" x 1-7/8") for holding a USB power bank is fixed to the bottom of the birdhouse. But the onboard battery may still need occasional boost up by an external power bank. Tests of the Standard Solar Model showed that the camera could run during the whole daytime in an overcast day following a sunny day. The stored energy also allows the camera to run even if the new day is overcast or rainy. Turbo Mode for running the camera from dawn to dusk, stashing some energy in the on-board Li-ion battery to wake up the camera early next morning. Normal Mode for continuously running the camera until the battery is used up, which occurs in the midnight on a sunny day for the Standard Model. Since Li-ion battery is vulnerable at temperatures below 10 F, the nesting box should be taken indoor in winter. The battery stores energy for the camera to run after sunset and when the solar panels is shaded during the day. Under the solar roof there is an on-board Lithium Polymer battery and a dedicated power management system. The solar roof, which should face south (in northern hemisphere), provides power for the camera.
