Hey Guys.

I bought the solar panels at Harbor Freight. Store Web Page Link

The product is a set of three solar panels, a basic combining/12v battery charging thing, and two 12V compact fluorecent bulbs and cables. I paid $180 using a coupon. This is considered a 45 watt system.

It's not high-power and fancy, but it was inexpensive enough for me to buy and get started in solar as a "turn-key Kit".
