I was just looking at the HF panels. I have found none so far that I would buy.

Did you look at the panels I linked?
Those are 40" x 40" (3' 4" x 3' 4"), you are not going to get much more compact than that for the wattage. So basically a little over 3 ft square in size.
Many high wattage panels are 4 ft x 2 ft or 4ft x 3 ft which can be difficult to handle..

Make it too much hassle and you won't even bother taking with you or even setting them up.
