I had a goal zero solar panel in 2013, about the size of 3 unopened greeting cards. I strapped it on top of my bed roll pointing straight up. After a days hike it only charged my phone about.. well dang I can't remember if it was 25 or 85 percent now. It wasn't that great, but it's something.

Solar powered mansion sounds sufficient to me.
Wind up radios and lights? NO Somebody's idea of a joke.

Yeah a solar powered mansion, our future hope! :)

Work you ass off for a few seconds of usable light (or radio), then dimming. I mean you would be cranking for the REST of your life. HOW are products like this ALLOWED on the market??? I bought one of each. Not remembering (apparently) Newton's second law. Or was it the third? the action and reaction one. I only had one semester of physics, Got an A, but it was YEARS ago.
