I am thinking green here. *I have recently seen a couple of 15W solar
panels (15 X 2) on sale at Canadian Tire for $99.00. *If I have those
hooked up to an electric generator, could I :


1) Trickle charge the generator
2) Have enough power to run some lamps, computers etc


Any suggestions would be great. *Thanks


1:no.(you cannot charge a generator, you might try a battery)
2:no.


Ok, how about this:

This is a battery like you suggested. Could this be trickled charged
to run things constantly?
And thank you for the quick reply
