    The Raspberry Pi’s built-in Wi-Fi is perfect for our outdoor setup. It wirelessly connects to our home network, so no extra wiring was needed.

    I want to call out that my router and Wi-Fi network are not solar-powered; they rely on my existing network setup and conventional power sources. So while the web server itself runs on solar power, other parts of the delivery chain still depend on traditional energy.

    Don’t get me wrong, it’s a cool project to make a solar-powered minicomputer, but the thing that makes it a server is conventional.
