Re: Solve to Power Problem!!
Is this a kit or did you have to fabricate the hood mount for the solar-panel?Great idea in order for an unlimited power source if you get stranded in the Outback. Battery will not last forever and a permanent solar set-up would be awsome. I'd probably go with the YETI 1250 Solar Generator and mount the dual Boulder 30's in the stock tonneau cover.

Re: Solve to Power Problem!!
The GOAL ZERO stuff is tough!
I heard you could run over the Solar Panel and it still works!

Re: Solve to Power Problem!!
wow, cool pic.. but uhhhh..
how about some information on the product?
how many amps/watt
kit or did you DIY the plstic mounting and what not.
does this charge just your battery, or running a 2nd batt?
i do like it though, and very ingenius. im not sure how much power it puts out to be practical though. im sure for just a trickle charge, it easily covers that, and prolly cell phone charging.

Re: Solve to Power Problem!!
Definitely...more info please.
It looks like a Goal Zero Boulder 15 panel.

I'd bet it was a fab job on the mount...but it looks good. Very interesting idea!

Re: Solve to Power Problem!!
Looks cool...but I gotta ask what kind of power issues were you having? If its something significant enough to kill a battery overnight or w/ in a few days- I'm skeptical that panel will have enough charging power to keep a full charge...It will offset the draw, but how much?
