[Elecraft] Solar power source

[BobDobson@aol.com]

Although this is not a K1/K2 post strictly speaking, I
thought I'd ask for advice here, as it is nonetheless a
related topic.

I'm considering constructing a 12 V DC solar-based 
power solution that can run a 100 watt radio (K2/100 
maybe?) on an intermittent basis.  I'm seeing a LOT 
of information on the web regarding choice of panels,
charge regulators, and batteries.  

Now to my question(s): For the larger solar panels (50-
120 watt), which vendor appears to be the best choice?
I'm leaning towards Siemens, but before I plunk down my
hard-earned beans, I'd like to get some input.  Also, the
AGM-type batteries look like a good choice.

Any advice, ladies and gents?

73,
