I compare two portable Solar Power arrays by Goal Zero and PowerFilm Solar using the West Mountain Radio Computerized Battery Analyzer IV's power curve profiling.
Testing occurred between 12:10PM and 1:30PM on Saturday August 24 under completely clear skies in 80ºF weather.
Both arrays performed well and fairly close to one another. The surprising thing was that both panels only output around 90watts in my test setup. I will reach out to both manufacturers to get their take on this.
The Goal Zero solution is built using four Boulder 30 Panels and the Goal Zero Tripod:

The PowerFilm Solar FM16-7200

The Goal Zero System has a street price of around $1200.
The PowerFilm panel has a street price between $1350 and $1700.
At the end of the day, the premium for the PowerFilm covers ease of transport, deployment, and use.
