Portable Solar Panel Question
I want to put together a portable solar system to experiment & learn with this summer to decide if I really want solar. My goal is to get as many watts as possible but keep the weight per panel under...

A. has a very high Voc for a '12v' panel at over 23v (usually about 21-22v) so that may account for the low Isc. I never heard of Isc being lower than Imp, but I don't know if it is impossible.
Whatever, two of those at 150w would get you Isc of 8.4 which is low for 150w. My 130w gets 8.2. A 150 should get 150/130 x 8.2 = 9.46a
I don't know what the weight issue is here, but I am using a 130w panel as a portable that weighs 31 lbs (has heavy frame) and I find it no trouble at all. ( I am 165) I do have more difficulty carrying my 230w panel around though, that weighs 48.5 lbs. Makes the 130w feel easy!
