[Elecraft] Solar Panel Setup

I guess I'm still a bit confused.  I've read many, many 
posts about solar panels and charging circuits, but I have 
not been pointed to a specific setup yet.  I want to get 1 
or 2 7ah gel cell batteries, (the type typically come from 
fire escape lighting systems, for example), and I want to 
be able to charge them with a small, portable solar panel. 
 Plug and charge.  One battery would power the radio while 
the other one is charging.

Can someone point me in the direction I need to go (web 
site, product names, part numbers, etc.)?  This needs to 
be a plug and play set up... panel, controller, cables... 
the works.

Thanks for your help.
