Yes, I agree and had the same idea. The mounting holes on the bedframe just didn't line up very well for that. What I really want is a nice plastic peanut butter jar, but we don't eat that kind of (hydrogenated) peanut butter so they're hard for me to find.

I like the idea of mounting the electronics to the lid, I'll try that next time. Maybe a big-ol-dab of silicone will keep the water out my jar for a while on this test rig.

I went out today and the panels were dead-on to the sun at about 10AM. What a cool device!
