I have thought about it and did some checking. Jade Mountain (www.jademountain.com) sells a flexible solar panel which puts out 16.5 volts at .62 amps which looked interesting. It is 21.8 x 16.7 x 0.3 inches and rolls into a 8 inch diameter tube. It is 179 dollars though and I don't know whether .62 amps will be enough to charge the battery. The next step up is 1.94 amps which is enough but it is 56 inches long. Too big for packing. These are made by Uni- Solar.
