I run my Performa 6360 and 15" LCD on solar. Alas, the kit involved isn't exactly portable! It's attached to my cabin/workshop out on the back of the property. It involves a 65w polycrystalline panel I was gifted, a charge controller, a 20+ year old deep cycle flooded cell D8 battery that weighs about 150lbs, and a small inverter. I run some CFL and LED lighting from the inverter in addition to the computer on my workbench. I have a couple cigarette lighter style plugs and USB charging ports running off the 12v side of things too. As I don't use energy every day, the charge controller is able to maintain the battery even in the winter months.
