Hi, I have 90 watts total with two of the 30 watt panels Dave is talking about and an older 30 watt folding larger panel charging two agm batteries which powers the tv, bilge pump, electric cooler and anything else I want to run on 12 volt. I have been very pleased with Canadian tire solar products with over 400 watts at home and I always buy them on sale which they are often. Coleman took over the name from sunforce who I believe still supplies them. Some of the panels come with a simple voltage regulator for 105 watts or you can buy it seperatly. You can buy connectors such as the one on my boat bringing the three panels into the one regulator. You can view these products on Coleman or sunforce.ca. The panels are velcroed to the boat. Cheers, Woody 26 Goldfinch
