its worth a try - at very least if the cells work you should be able to get enough solar power to charge batteries that could run all the routers / networking / telecoms hardware in the hackspace, independently of UK Power Networks (good for resilience if there are power cuts)

It would be interesting. :D
I've never worked with German Silver before. :D
I read how the recipe for the metal was nearly lost due to the anti-German feeling after WW2, but i've never played with it yet. :D
Plus the press-fit design for the plug-caps could be pressed from sheet metal.
The hardware and jigs to do that are really simple, and they've fallen out of patent decades ago. :D
