Hello

Does anyone know where I can buy?Thanks

Just keep in mind that solar panels are rated for their maximum output and provide said wattage under ideal conditions. So I would verify with a qualified supplier before going ahead. Cell phones are easily recharged with a Solio charger, just google it. Otherwise check this page, http://www.squidoo.com/thinfilmsolarpanels it tells a little more about the subject as well as listing a bunch of different suppliers.
UK ? Try Maplin.
They stock 120w panels .. a pair of these will set you back about £1,400 ..
You will also need batteries .. I would recommend a pair of 100 AHr. from Mapin for about £350 ..
.. and I would also recommend some sort of motorised ’sun tracking’ system .. (sorry, can’t help there, however check out "eq mounts" as used in astronomy)
NB. your batteries will need to last overnight, so I assume you also need some sort of computerised power management system (to make sure you ‘ration’ your usage & don’t run out)
