To keep charged, or recharge? The first thing is to figure your energy budget, and go from there.

We have 200 watt Renogy Portable unit and it works great keeping 2 12 volt batteries charged. We use all the lights we need and run heater all night. It all depends on what you can afford.

We have an Accopower 120W semi-flexible suitcase system. It's too early to know about longevity but it seems very well put together, except for the very cheap controller.
When in full sun we get about 5A at 12V. So 10 hours does about 50AH.
Since we like to camp in tall trees it's been of limited value.Rick

We have a 120 Watt GoPower Solar Suitcase. It comes with accessories to plug into the Furion Solar port on our Grand Designs. On sunny days, it keeps our two 12 Volt batteries charged while boondocking using lights, fridge and furnace.

It was GP-PSK-120. At the time we bought they were switching to the 130W panel. We actually received a 130W panel. Model #GP-PSK-130. We purchased from Amazon for $399. Now it sells for over $500. Originally Posted by Schiefswret

This one is tough to beat and even though it's active on Amazon I couldn't find it on Renogy's website for this low of a price.
