Hi Peter, we were trying to buy one for our field work a time ago and found this brand: Goal Zero they have packs depending in your needs (what you want it to power and for how long) the packs come with the solar panel and the batery. http://www.goalzero.com/solar-kits
we used the small ones to power field centrifuges on the field.
