You can find those pretty cheap nowadays.
I tried to buy some, but the shipping was more than the panels..

The new Kaneka 110w model should be set for release this month (If they got their UL label).
Kaneka Thin Film Solar Panel 110w

I'm thinking of something smaller and lighter for my tracking mount.
Maybe $2.68 per watt delivered.

WHOLESALE 125 Watt 12 Volt SOLAR PANEL- 2 PCS - 250W - eBay

It's kinda weird to think that shipping charges can end up being
such a major factor when deciding to buy PV.

If I can get foreign made panels for $2.68 per watt, I should be able
to drive up to the Evergreen factory (23 miles up the road) and buy
panels for $1 or $2 per watt.. But no! Those are priced outta sight!
I think the local made panels are the same price here, as on the west coast,
3000 miles away..
