Northern tool is selling a 15 watt for $69.00. I had this same panel on my first tear and did well. http://www.northerntool.com/webapp/wcs/ ... _200263174

I put 3 on my TV. I realize there is a drop in power the further away from the battery. But this is what worked for me.

This is a dumb question, I know, but is this strong enough to recharge (or keep charged)my Teardrop battery? I am planning to run a fan and three lights. I am kind of an idiot when it come to volts and amps, and the such.

:?

To tell ya the truth, I don't know. I'am also set up to charge the trailer battery with the TV. My set up is 45 watts but only 3 amps. So it is a very slow trickel charge.

There have been some substantial savings on decent size solar panels recently on e-bay e.g. a thin film 60W for 100$. I picked up my 180W for 300$, you have to be aware of and calculate price per watt.
