[Milsurplus] solar panels

[Brooke Clarke]

Hi Rod:

That "1800 Watt" system for over $2k has a single panel that's probably 
rated below 100 Watts (at solar noon at the equator).  You only get 1800 
Watts for a few seconds from a small (maybe 7 AH) battery.

I got a free panel (actually a full system) and so far have not found an 
application that makes economic sense.
