Thanks. Looking around isn't coming up with much in commercial products that seem like they'd actually work. Maybe have to build one.

It looks like it would. The issue is building a solar panel to put out 5vdc with that size cells.
I might be able to experiment. I just had 30 panels delivered and 10 were shattered. If the shiping company does not collect the "debris", I might try to experiment for you.
There are places to buy just cells.
Here is a 7" x 7" cell, but the voltage is wrong. You'd need a dc-dc converter.
SUN 2.5 7 x 7 [SUN-2.5] - $21.00 :
at $21, the price is right.
