I'm of the opinion that solar panels are a losing battle...unless you have a good acre of land and plenty of sunshine to set them up on. The startup costs aren't worth it. Not when you're paying 10c a kw/hr anyway. How many recharge cycles at $2/full charge is it going to take to pay off the panels?

If your local electricity is more expensive or less environmentally friendly, then there might be reason to. Or if you're hard core in to going off grid...
