They have small solar panels and solar trickle chargers also. My guess is that your looking for solar ventilation on a green house project. .https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZF7mUG8PVU |

Re: Where to find small solar panel?
I second the Harbor Freightt suggestion.
Heard something interesting today: apparently Home Depot and Lowes both accept the "20% off" coupons from Harbor Freight. Has anyone tried that? |

Re: Where to find small solar panel?
I haven't but I wonder why they would since HF doesn't sell the same products. However, if they do, someone tell me how it works; HF is too far from me and the others aren't.

What are you making, Macgyver. A power vent for your dog house? Youtube has some good ideas. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZF7mUG8PVU |

Re: Where to find small solar panel?
Thats exactly what I want to do Bobbie Six Killer.....
I need a small panel like that and want to install in my GH since I have a computer fan thats large anyhow. So even on days when the vents open and the door its still really hot. |

Re: Where to find small solar panel?
I have a 12v panel charging a battery during the day which I use for a timelapse camera.

Re: Where to find small solar panel?
Mike, I wondered if you would know who that character was from 😃. Tv series in the 80's called Renegade.

Re: Where to find small solar panel?
Does the guy in that video have a battery? All he says is just the solar panel and computer fan. The closet thing worked fine but I bought a greenhouse at the old house and no longer used the closet. Bought a new house last year and brought greenhouse along.

Re: Where to find small solar panel?
For my purposes it works well. I haven't been using it for the last couple months. I'm working on a new camera but will probably have to wait until summer to finish that project.

Re: Where to find small solar panel?
Now I found a outdoor solar light at Walmart. For ten bucks. It has the same size it looks like the guy has in the video. But I hate to waste the light just for the solar panel.

I've seen plenty of solar panels alongside the road. You just need to remove them from the flashing lights they're operating...
