I found a neat solar panel on the internet and received mine last Saturday.
The panel is 12X18 inches when folded, teflon connectors and supply cord
supplied with the panel. The output of the panel is 18 volts @700mA. I
plan to use the panel with the Sunlight Energy Systems at Micro M+
controller that was featured in an article in the October 2001 issue of QST.
SES can be found at

I bought the panel from Connecticut Solar LLC. They also offer a charge
controller. Since the battery and the solar panel don't care you can use
Don's controller, the SES Logic controller or the one offered by Connecticut
Solar. As with many things the choice is yours.
You can find the information about this solar panel at.....

Check it out, it may be what a lot of QRP ops are looking for. Should be a
great addition to operating in the field.
