What voltage/current can the panels provide? What voltage/current do your 'sensor modes' confused require?

How reliable does the power have to be? Battery storage? How many days of sunshine? How many cloudy days in a row?

I'm not familiar with those. What voltage do they run on? Can 2 AA cells power them? Or is the 2 AA charging in addition to running the wireless modules?
