Updated Solar

[daltenes]

Today I purchased a GoalZero Boulder30 solar panel to replace my big 3 panel 45W setup from Harbor Freight. The new panel is 21"x18" as opposed to about 36"x24" on the old model. New panel is also WAY lighter than the old beast. The GoalZero rep assured me that the new unit is plenty adequate to keep my Casita battery charged. I bought it at Costco for $170 - msrp is $240. Additional panels can be purchased to link together.

The price on solar panels has really come down. Here is a 35 watt panel for $42 plus shipping. Not to rain on your parade, just pointing this out because prices have fallen so fast that others may not know what a good price is right now.
