Bring a lot of money. Basically, you will need 150 watts and a charge controller. You are looking at spending ~$1,000 for this much power and that will only be available on sunny days. Then you need some good batteries to store that power to make it worthwhile. Why do you need that type of juice?

I'm hoping to acquire the components for a solar charging rig rather quickly and could use some help. I want to come up with a rig that will provide 10A at 14.3V.

Thanks, -andy
