The 12V power source solar panel
So I came across this on EBay... and they are very local to me... but it sounds like a $100 experiment gone bad. The specs on this thing are waaaaaaay different than any other 12V solar panel that...

Hmmmm
How to put this nicely....
You aint gonna get squat.
Even the 24v 230w poly only got 4a under heavy clouds on a cold, cloudy, fall day. That barely did more than stretch our grp 27 for a day and a half before the sun came out. We were down to 12.3v and would have had to charge up that day even with the panel. (40 daytime high, 20s at night) It just wouldn't have taken another full day and night with the stat set at 74F. Adding the twin 245w systems wouldn't have helped either. They are mono's and would have been asleep under those conditions. They would have kicked some tail when the sun came back. :)
