The bike I am planning on using has 27" wheels. So if its not 700c or 27" I'll have to get a different bike. Not a big deal, but another expense.

Vskid made a good point. Solar charging wouldn't make sense financially. I have no plans for anything electric powered so I should probably sell them and use it to fund the ebike. That also solves the 36v charging problem.

I'll probably post the panels and controller up for sale, and then try pedaling the trip in the meantime. Once they sell I'll relook at e-bike building. My motorcycle just recently broke down as well so I need to wait before buying it anyway to see how much its going to be to fix it.

Thanks for the help,
Matt
