Douglas,
I purchased a 20 watt Rip Stop Nylon Protected Epoxy Solar Panel from
Connecticut Solar 4 years ago and am very satisfied with them. It will put
out 1200mA which is plenty and more for charging other cells while
operating. Here is the link. They also sell a 10 watt version.

You will need a controller which I also purchased from them. Hope this
helps.

Subject: [Elecraft] Solar Panels
I'm interested in using solar panels to power the K2 for emergency/field day
operations and am wondering what sort of experience others have had. The
panels seem expensive: about $100 for a 5 watt panel but with battery and a
low power draw of the K2, they look like they can sustain operations for
extended periods of time.
How does this work in practice ? Is there enough 'juice' delivered to keep a
station operational ? How about portability ?
Thanks to everyone in advance for your responses.
