Hi, The only hat shelves I have are beat up. I use them to make a template and cut my own out of fiberboard and then wrap in black vinyl. Do you mean the interior panels below the quarter windows? I don't think I have any left. If you hear back from me, then I found some. If not, I don't have any. Thanks for asking. Steve

Update: I was able to run a large box fan all day with this the other day. I was surprised how sensitive the solar panels are. Even after the direct sunshine left my back yard, the controller said it was still charging. Being old tech, there is no screen telling me detailed info. It has three LEDs showing battery strength. Green is fully charged, yellow is half charged and Red is dead. I had run the battery half down yesterday, this morning I put the panels in direct sun for two hours and the battery was fully charged. It might have charged faster than that, that is only when I checked it. Today I'm running the small mini fridge in my shop. It's doing it just fine so far. I'm also going to do a test by plugging something into it all day running while it's charging in the sun and see if the battery goes down at all.

The battery was just below half after running the box fan all day, and in an hour this morning those two 60 W panels fully charged the battery! I was pretty excited. Harbor Freight has some good equipment to complete your solar generator. You just need circuit breakers, a controller and battery and an inverter. The next one I'll get is an all-in-one with the lithium ion battery.
