for me the sunny season is too short.
I havn't yet tried to use solar batteries in winter so maybe I have the same problems (despite the fact that I'm living 3 degrees south of you), but I have backup solution for very cloudy winter days - regular battery charger.

Both need protection (internal or external) from excessive discharge (or excessive charge, and short circuits etc)
That is where our new library to check battery level goes in, we could dream to have an internal mysensor security check of a LiPo battery ! they do so in 'copters
I may pass on that. I'm not used to software glitches having quite so much potential impact, and I don't need to save every gram. But to each their own!
Looks awesome. Might be fun to put it outside before your front door on 31th October. Still have a Halloween project on my ever growing bucketlist xd
Blynk is awesome for controlling Halloween projects.
