Hi Nigel ...yep they work however size is the problem! You need a panel that will give you the equivilent of you car battery charger at home...about 5 amps. So you are looking for a panel of around 50-60 watt. But the down size is this is 1000mm x 500mm x 50mm! ...the cost will be about £400. Then you need a case (£100 or make one yourself from plywood) and some way of tracking the sun i.e a stand (£50) and also a voltage regulator (£35).
Then you need a leisure battery (long cycle) to store the free power (£100) The more sun the more free power. Before you go to bed rotate the stand for the dawn light and away you go. Forget camping stores research marine supplies or give me an email and I'll explain more.
