I'm curious how they are getting 110 volts for your outlets. I thought that
was unattainable with current (sorry!) technology.

It's been attainable to get 110vac from DC probably for the best part of
a century or more. The magic device is called an inverter.

I have a little solar photovoltaic panel on my shed roof for powering the
electric stuff in the garden, like lighting, pond pump etc. It currently
has 3 outlets - 12 volt DC, 6 volt DC (a DC-DC converter I built myself
for charging 6 volt lead acid batteries, for use with my bike), and 240
volts AC off an inverter.

But how useful is 10 microA at 240V? :-)
