Hi,
You might also want to look up SunElec.com They have been advertizing in Home Power Magazine more than 3 years, and showing that they will sell solar panels for about $1 per rated watt upwards to some panels at $2 per rated watt.
So if Solar BLVD has portable solar panels for about $150 for their system, it is probably a great deal. However if they are making a case to hold the solar panels, my guess is they are spending time and money to build that case, and the hinges, assembly, wiring, and will charge a lot more for the portable system than someone can buy a perminate installed solar panel.
I went with a pair of 120 watt and a single 75 watt solar panel to supplement my original 1994 pair of 45 watt panels on my RV. This was a economical system, and it has saved me thousands of dollars in camping fees, while I got to camp hundreds of days in wonderful places like Lake Tahoe, Yellowstone, Sequoia National Park, many times for free, all without "Hookups" that I find are not needed in a modern RV.
I would only hook up to shore power sometimes, during a 2 year long trip around the United States during 2006 and 2007. Even if I did spend a day in a full hookup campground, I might only hook up to the septic and fresh water systems, not the 120 volt system, as I had plenty of power.
