    hello all! thank you for helping me out. I need a website that sells small solar cells/ panels for low cost. what i am planning to do is find a solar panel that has the same requirements to power my fpv drone I am building, so it will give a constant charge to my drone and give a charge to my lipo battery. here are the links to the battery and drone.

    Your motors alone will draw up to 48 amps, 24 amps would be the nominal current draw for hovering.......unfortunately the solar panels you need would weigh more than what the UAV could carry. Yes there are some super light weight solar systems out there, but how much money do you have will be the issue then.

    At this time the best you would achieve is about a wash, adding weight make the motors work harder, so any solar panel will only support its weight in power delivery....
