Just so you know...I was at Wal-Mart the other day, and noticed several
different sized solar panels used to charge car batteries. They were sealed,
water, and impact
proof in a frame, and varied in size form about 12 inches by 4 inches, to
about 12 inches by 12 inches. They seemed VERY RUGGED, and were VERY CHEAP,
the most expensive being around $30.00. They also had a led, that turned on
when charging. I use one of the smaller panels to trickle charge a small
motorcycle battery between uses on a hovercraft that I own. For that, it
keeps the
battery fresh, and ready to use ALL THE TIME.
Just in case anyone was looking for Large, inexpensive solar panels for a
project.
