I looked at that URL and saw that it uses 1.5 Amps. That's pretty good. I am 80% sure they have the same one on JC-Whitney for $40 :

* Air Circulating Seat Cushion solves the problem of overheated seats and sticky back and drawers!
* Built in electric fan draws in cool air and circulates it throughout the seat for cooling relief
* Adjustable control allows you to select the perfect cooling level
* Attractive 2-tone design

Wagan Air Circulating Seat Cushion takes care of that nasty "hot seat" problem experienced on longer drives. Ingenious design delivers cool comfort on longer journeys or on those extra hot days. Includes power adapters for use in car, office or home and adjustable straps for universal fit.
Question: How much solar panel square footage is needed to generate 12 volts DC at 1.5 Amps?!?!?!?!
