Solar Blvd puts a flexible 120 W solar panel
on sale frequently as low as
about $120.  Right now it is $139, regular $179.

Two things make it perfect for a Westy.  1) It
fits on the roof between two raised sections:

and 2) it stores very nicely on top of the folded top
bed when you drop the top.

It puts out ~6 A

If you park so that the pop top isn't getting much
sun, it works fine on the ground with a longer cable.
