Most of those chairs are 24 volt, with 2 batteries in series. A 5 watt panel, or even a pair of such panels, is too small for effective/useful charging. Attempting to do so with only a maximum of 10 watts power from solar, is similar to trying to use a paper cup to fill a swimming pool! For meaningful charging, I suggest at least 100 watts of soplar panels, but the panel(s) will be somewhat LARGE, and unless they are the folding type, not practical to carry around on the chair. Keep in mind that solar panels only put out their rated power when they are positioned at the correct angle to the sun, and the day is perfectly clear, sunny, and bright, usually between 9 AM and 4PM for most of the year. Re-positioning each hour would be needed, if you wish to maintain optimum power. If your batteries are 25 ampere-hours each, and wired in series for 24 volts, it would take about 2 days of average sunlight to get a decent charge on them, using 200 watts of solar cells, if the batteries were dead to start with! (That works out to FORTY DAYS to charge with a 5 watt panel!)All wiring to/from the batteries should be properly fused and protected from damage, and a diode should be utilized to prevent discharge through the solar panel system when not receiving adequate sunlight. A charge regulator will be required with the larger panels, but is not neede for 10 watt or smaller panels-only a diode and fuse is required for small 10 watt or less panels, unless you were to leave the chair unused, parked in the sun, for more than a couple weeks at a time. The 10 watt panel could maintain charge in periods of non-use, if parked in a sunny location.--Bob

To RELIABLY meey your 50amp requirement, DIRECTLY from the panels, you would need about 10 (Ten) 100 watt panels connected in PARALLEL. They wouuld PEAK at over 6amperes each,so given a reasonably CLEAR and BRIGHT day, should meet your requirement. In ADDITION, you would need a REGULATOR, to control the output voltage, and suitable MOUNTING HARDWARE-estimated COST is OVER $4,000.00-(More than four thousand dollars)--Wonder WHAT you really want to do?---Bob

I have one! CALL via TELEPHONE, 301-439-3873, or send YOUR phone#.--Bob

 I have a PAIR of TRACE modified sinewave inverters, they are configured for 120/240 split phase input, with 120/240 split phase output, and will operate most household loads, BOTH 240 volt and 120 volt at the same time, just like commercial 120/240 residential service. These onits are like new, and include the interconnect cable(for 180 degree phase locking of the outputs), as well as the buss-bar jumpers for the 24 volt D.C. input. They are the 2,500watt each, (5KW for the pair) 24 volt input units. they include internal, adjustable battery charging circuitry, and line transfer relays.(automatic transfer)--- I am only considering selling these to get something even BIGGER, as I am a "Ham Radio Operator" and have some new ham equipment that requires more power. Asking price is $2,400.00 for the pair.--I am located in the state of MARYLAND, these units are HEAVY.--I will consider delivery and/or demonstration within a reasonable area.  If interested, TELEPHONE me @301-656-9092, or 301-439-3873, or 301-910-1766.--All REASONABLE offers considered, may even take some items as full/partial TRADE.--Bob Curry
