I do not know of any thinfilm panels that are anywhere near ready for market. If you hear of any, let me know. I want to work there. If you do decide to go solar you can look at the larger panels used for residential and commercial use. They can be found online and at big box stores (in some areas) for decent prices. You just need to make sure the voltage is correct for a 12 or 24 V system. I have seen my company's residential panels used on boats for over 10 years. I do know that the market is saturated with panels so you have a good chance of barganing the price down. Good luck and post pics when done.
