thanks for the pointer Frostbite do you have a link for the panel.

i like the idea of being able to recharge a laptop, strange as it may seem i regard my laptop as a vital bit of survival gear as i have loaded several thousand ebooks on it on a wide range of subjects. not counting all the scifi/fiction books

this is sort of snowballing now i am thinking of getting afew panels for the roof of my bugout 4x4.
