Some comments about this we saw on the web:

* /u/checkitoutmyfriend on /r/BurningMan Here you go, down and dirty… When working with the panel be sure to throw a towel over it so it’s not generating any power while you are hooking things up! no sparky, sparky…

Others may find better deals but stay at 100watts.

Any of these should work if I did the math right. It says you need 100watts at 12Vdc using my links for pump and fan. 60w actually but its better to go a bit larger. If you go with different components then you will need to calculate things again.

I don’t think you need the controller/charger some of these come with just to run the bucket cooler. However, if you do decide to bring a car battery or preferrably a deep cycle marine/RV battery you will need the controller/charger.

Ignor anything about inverters as these panels are not big enough to use an inverter.
