Solar power

Hello,

I am looking for ways to keep working in areas without electricity (like Sahara for instance) (context : for non extended lengths of time each time, just like 2 weeks or so, but regularly).

What is the best way?

Solar power seem to me to be the perfect candidate but I would like to know if it's really feasible and realistic to keep powering a powerful enough laptop that allows me to work properly (i'm a translator running localization software and occasionaly bulky terminology databases).

I have an Inspiron 8200 for now (I am however thinking of getting an Inspiron 300m if it makes things easier, since it has an external battery recharger.)

Could I get some opinions, experience on this?

Could Dell people officially advise on a recommanded solar system to power a laptop on the move (like panel on the roof of a 4x4, converter, safe connexions for the laptop, etc.) ?

Thank you
