Solar Power Battery Pack

Solar power instead of battery?
I have a 7.2v 1100 NiMH battery. I want to feed the engine with solar cells. Should I use five or seven 1.5V 135mA 1.0V 415mA cells cells? Thank you for any contribution you might have.
what is "NiMH"? I suspect "1100" is mA-hour, and it is a battery capacity, not a current. You need to know the current consumption of the engine. If it is 1 A, example, the battery runs the motor for one hour, if it is 0.5 amps, the pack should be run for two hours. second is much more powerful, the use that (1v 415 Ma) Assuming that the engine can suck 0.5 amps (500 mA) at 7.2V, so theoretically you can use 7 cells in series to obtain 7 volts at 415 mA. But only if the sun is very bright where you live. If it is at any angle in the panel, the voltage and current decrease rapidly diminishing. Manufacturers tend to overestimate their cells more, For example, you can get a volt if the current is low, or 415mA if the voltage is low, but not both. In this case, you'll need more than 7 cells ..

Brunton SolarRoll Flexible Solar Module (Spring 2010) $405.95 Our drive and desire to pioneer a line of rugged power sources led to the introduction of the first flexible solar panel – the SolarRoll by Brunton. Since then – the evolution of this concept has flourished. Backed by glowing reviews in every major magazine and newspaper in this country and others – the SolarRoll has officially taken its place as one of our most talked about products. The proof – though – is in the remarkable performance. The waterproof SolarRoll has given sea kayakers the power to photograph their voyages from the far reaches of the planet. And next spring – it will assist Ed Viesturs in his final summit – Annapurna – as he polishes off the last peak of Endeavor 8000. Ideal for powering satellite phones – members of expeditions worldwide pack the SolarRoll in place of expensive extra batteries that don’t offer much relief in the form of weight. We realize however – that not everyone is defying the ordinary. Some of us simply need the SolarRoll for charging our car battery or running our video camera. With this in mind – we’re offering alternative sizes and outputs this year to accommodate the growing demand for our most popular solar panel.
