Have you ever had a small solar charge from stars?

Last night I was at my high country cabin. It's at 9,600 ft and when the sky is clear, it a freakin' planetarium. And last night, the stars were just amazingly bright. I noticed I was actually getting a small solar charge LED indicator.

Anyone ever had that happen?

Pictures of sky or didnt happen :D

Next time. It is amazing what you can see up there. All kinds of satellites in different orbits that fly by at what seems like really fast speeds.

I was up there for a Perseid Meteor shower one time that was epic.

My solar will react to streetlights.
But nothing useful aside from enough energy to illuminate LED on its controller.
Your situation is likely same. One needs to take measurements to know how much produced.

Yes, similar situation. Except this place is way the hell off the grid.

Even under my car port I get enough reflected light to get some charge. Its not much but comes close to offsetting the loss.
