I was poking around looking for the best deal for some solar panels and think I might have found it...
http://www.dmsolar.com/solar-module-1141.html
Two 145 watt polycrystalline panels for $240. That's only about $0.83 a watt. And I figure 290 watts ought to do pretty much anything I'm going to want to do (and then some). I haven't even worked out if they'll fit on top of my rig or not yet (I'm sure they will SOMEHOW), but wonder if any of the alternative energy gurus here have seen these, or know the vendor (who seems to have a pretty solid reputation online).
The down side is they're out of stock through August 5th, but I'm in no big hurry. I might even consider buying two, and splitting the purchase with someone else who needs "only" 145 watts (which is still a LOT of power, IMHO).
