I assume this comment was aimed at me since I was the only poster to mention how poor daylight is in comparison to sunlight and the only person to mention percentages.

Just to set the record straight I've recorded the effectiveness of a solar panel for over a year with a data acquisition card measuring the Voltage and current of a solar panel feeding a battery. Samples were recorded every 10 minutes to computer.
I do know what I'm talking about when it comes to solar.

I'm glad you can boil water with a battery. I'm sure the battery can boil water at night too.

Good reply if you’re ok with missing the point fully, ok so you did test good for you, can you tell me how my batts manage to recharge and continue cooking, boiling, lighting, running stereo and TV all though the winter (daylight) months, I mean you did say:

"power from daylight is typically 3% to 10% of the power from sunlight. So while they do produce power in daylight it's pretty pathetic."

Also tell me why the smart reply you said:

"I'm sure the battery can boil water at night too.",

but yet to have continued use they need recharge and as stated my setup was used day an night in my garden by family in caravan and also under a canopy, and as said above with daylight recharge only.

You said although I cannot find the post now? That you cannot cook on solar setup and I disagree as I do so all the time, did you delete that reply or have I got threads mixed up?

I don't doubt you’re a smart person I just don't agree with your year study, because while you was studying I was cooking and using day and night solar and still am on the same batts 3 years on.
