   Sure.  The question is how fast it can charge.   
      
   Figure a cell that gives you 10W in full Arixona sun gives you about 1W on the   
   average in upstate New York given cloudy conditions and the sun often being   
   lower on the horizon.  Figure nine hours a day of sun in December in New York.   
   How many amp-hours do you need?
