I would suggest getting a bigger panel or, since you have a goal zero panel, you could daisy chain a couple of them together. Another option is to go for the goal zero yeti solar generator with the appropriate solar panel...expensive but exactly what your looking for.
I just recently invested in a Juice box Solar generator from Hardened Power systems. I got to use it in the field for the first time on this last trip to Gonzaga bay. It worked great! I used it to basically charge all my electronics and some of the other guys electronics. Having topped off batteries every morning was really nice. Put the panel out during the day to charge the battery, so I could charge my stuff again at night.
HOLY MOLY BATMAN!!!
Dude how much money did you spend on those individual solar panels?
How much was the Juice box? I think this is an excellent investment.
