+== getting sun exposure while hiding from the heat ==
+It is possible to collect some photons while avoiding the heat of the day.  Approaches:
+  * park on the eastern edge of a treeline - you will get full sun until a bit after noon when the sun goes behind the trees for the day.
+  * park on the northern edge of a treeline - you will get sun until later morning when the sun goes behind the trees for midday.  You may get sun again in the afternoon.
+  * augment with portables on long extensions and place them in the sun
