Solar panels come in various sizes for various outputs, so there is no one answer to your quesiton. Do some google searching for solar panels and read up on them. I'm about to buy one and I was just at Canadian Tire and they have a 2 amp (Hour) solar panal for CDN$350 that puts out 2 amps "Under Ideal Conitions". Solar is great if your electical draw is during the (sunny) day time (fridge on a hot/sunny summer day), but if you watch your videos at night, don't expect much from your solar panel(s) :-) Try: http://www.mrsolar.com/ or list member http://home.earthlink.net/~johndolsen/index.html malcolm --- David Johnson <davidj@ELPASOTEL.NET> wrote: > Actually, the unit I had in mind was a solar trickle charger, not > 110v, and that was more what I was asking about than the AC type > units.
