Does anyone know of a solar panel(100watts or so) that will work with a Goal Zero Yeti 400? I'm specifically looking for something other than a Goal Zero panel because those are way out of my price range.

Around $300. I'd love to get the nomad 100 but for $749 I could do without.

Never mind. I found a video that answered my question. All I need is a MC4 adapter and it will work with a Renogy Solar Panel.

What I did was get the Renogy 100 suitcase with comes with a controller and went to the electronics supply store and got a couple Anderson Power Pole connectors and attached them to about 20 feet of wire which I connected to the controller of the panels. The controller makes sure that the correct amount of wattage is getting to the Yeti. The only down side is that since the Anderson connectors are plugged into where you chain two units together it doesn't update the display which shows you how much charge you have. But if you turn it off and back on it will show the correct charge.
I used this last year and it worked great. The Yeti stayed charged and didn't blow up.
