I'll likely have a 160w solar panel connected a Goal Zero Yeti 1400 but having an additional small panel up top that could keep that small battery/fans going would be sweet and save some cable routing mess. Do you have a recommendation on the battery/solar system? I'm not familiar with this stuff but trying to come up to speed.
Well I would use one of these batteries which are 12Ah and buy a proper 20w panel with a cheap 10$ charge controller,
This battery measures about 7" X 3" by about 3.5" and they are used in emergency Exit Lighting and last for around 10 to 12 years,
This is the one I would be buying but they make smaller ones, You just have to do a search for them in the country where you are Ok
,
PS, it will also run small LED lights as well,
EDIT, you could also cheat and plug the little battery in to the Yeti's 12v output so when the Yeti is charging the little battery would be charging too, Personally I would do what I said with it's own panel etc.
