Portable Solar Panels
Looks like Solarblvd.com has a few of these ready to go with built in charger controllers. They have 100, 120, and 160W. 160W for $249

Usually I am the first person advising against kits. So for they are WAY over priced and produce too little power to be truly useful. Here you can get a 65 or 79w panel, cheap CC and some wires for $400 and for the same money you can have a 230w system like I use.
This kit hopefully shows a trend towards more usable product for a more reasonable price. Not everyone wishes to become a solar engineer just to d o some dry camping. When I discuss our set up with others, their eye glaze over quickly. They don't understand what I'm saying and see a plug and play kit as the answer. They don't care if it is perfect, just that it's easy. The guy that makes the 65w kits here openly admits he preys on the stupid and lazy.
I like your contraption. How much wind can it handle?
