Recommend Solar Charger for AA and AAA batteries?

Does anyone have a recommendation for a good solar charger for these small battery types? I tried to search to see if this has already been covered and must not have been using the best search term...

I used to charge batteries while camping with a fold up 12 watt solar panel. I used some scrap battery holders and clip leads to put 6 or 8 AA or AAA's in series with the panel.

One time I converted a 120 volt 4 cell charger to 12 V by wiring the four cell connectors in series with a 6 volt light bulb. Not automatic - I had to remember to stop the charging after a reasonable time.

I love that 12/120 charger on Amazon.com. Wish it was on Amazon.ca.
