where do you get little solar panels?

We Answered:

Thin-film solar panels are a great way to go if you're looking for small solar panels.

Thin-film have the advantage of being lighter while a traditional crystalline panel is more efficient so it can produce more power with the same area.

With the increasing efficiency of thin-film solar panels, however, they are quickly becoming an excellent option for portable power solutions.

If you want crystalline panels instead of thin-film, the DURAlite line is a good example of a portable solar panel that uses regular polycrystalline solar cells. DURAlite panels come in 5, 10, or 20 Watts and they have a 10' cable with a 12-volt car-style socket plug.
