Well, the VW panels are getting harder to find. VW ships their cars to dealers with a solar panel plugged into the lighter socket or OBD-II port. The idea is that the panel keeps the battery from going flat which causes problems with some of the electrical systems in the car. The dealer is supposed to remove the panels and send them back to VW for reuse, but some dealers were a bit lax and would have piles of the panels collecting dust. About two years ago, if you went to any VW dealer and asked nicely they would hand you as many as you could carry. Now VW seems to have caught on, and the dealers are sending them back to VW for the most part. I haven't scored a free one in awhile. They are about the size of a sheet of paper, and put out about 3 watts @ 12V. They were suction cupped to the windshield.
