I’m in the process of purchasing full size solar panels for my house. I purchased one for feasibility study of mounting and connectivity. The panel is rated for 280W, and was less than $300. A single 12/24 battery charge controller is about $20. With a a single panel and charge controller, one would have a daily free 24v(28v)/10a battery charger/maintainer, that would work portable, nearly anywhere, daily.
I’m not really one for maintenance battery charging, but for anybody who has trucks parked in the back 9 with no outlets around, this could be a really good solution. One panel on a 45 degree kickstand, and you’ll have 10 amps @ 28v anytime the sun is out.
