They do not have the output capacity of a glass monocrystalline panel, about 20-25% which is why they can not fully charge a battery bank, for a trickle charge they work fine.

the lithium batteries will hold more power but as discussed they R not yet cost effective.

We were going to build a cart with a set but saw no viable market, the auto industry is pouring tons of money in development and soon we may see the costs drop.
jimbo This subject is just out of my league. However I know that the panels are not a stick on.
