How much did that one cost ya??For light weight power and portability I chose a Burton Solaris 52 (52 watt solar panel that fold up), A Burton Impel (145 wh rechargeable Lithium Battery only weighs 2 lbs) and a battery charger for AA and AAA batteries.
I did some research and this is the closest setup that I could find that is like the system the army uses.

The roll up solar panel and the upper solo-15 lithium battery was updated with the panel and battery in the bottom of the picture.
The Solaris CIGS 62 (62-Watt 3.4LB ) folding panel sells around $1200.How much did that one cost ya??
No I never did and actual watt test, I may do that in the future but I did make sure it would charge my impel or solo 15 storage device in half a day or so. When talking about solar panel I always think of the rating as a max figure.Ricky, thanks for the tip on the Burton. Have you ever run a test under full sunlight to see how many watts that thing is actually throwing by chance? Just wondering because if it is throwing anywhere near what it is rated for then I may have to look more closely at that option.
