Used Solar Panel?
I need a used 100-watt 12-volt solar panel to charge a deep-cycle battery with. Anyone know where to buy one, or have one for sale? I simply can't afford a new one at this time. Thanks

... And panels are mismatched, and some are getting old (= reduced efficiency). Whatever works for Mr. Wiz. With all-electrical cooking and fridge, and with 2 people, and with morning "marine layer" of fog in coastal Ca, it would take at least 900W solar to live without a generator. No, wait, they already have 900W... Or getting close? ;) ...
With propane fridge (not that I like it), and cooking on gas mostly, one person can live off 200-300W solar if he chooses to. Back to the OP question - 100W panel is way too little for fulltime living. Barely enough even for a seasonal summer cabin.
