While at the so cal FWC rally I got inspired to get a portable solar panel after seeing Jim's setup. I got it at Solar Blvd for $169. It's a 100 w and fits perfectly behind my couch back:

I ordered one also. Should arrive tomorrow. Its not that my current panel isn't enough but its only enough when it gets full sun. This should be a lot more flexible for the conditions.

Ooh, more power. I also think prices have hit bottom. I'm sure they'll go and prove me wrong now

I bought some additional connectors so I could make an extension cord as well as a hard wire to my FWC batteries. Just finished the install today and it works great. I also put a 10 A fuse in line to prevent any problems to my electrical system. One note for anyone who buys these, check the terminal block on the controller. On mine one of the panel wires was pulled out. When I went to insert and tighten, all of the screws were loose. I did notify them of this so maybe they took it off the site to inspect the remaining ones.
