Mobile solar power

For some reason I think mobile solar products are really neat. However economically they are hard for me to justify because I live so close to grid power and have so few camping trips a year, there really isn't a need for me to use it often. But for those of you on the go here is a list of cool products from small cell phone charges to gigantic trailer rigs for portable solar. Now my one question is if I wanted to make my own portable solar is it possible to cut up a Unisolar thin film flexible panel and some how solder connections to the cells? Do they have a nice beefy bus wire that can be soldered onto?
It would give me 15v, with a 108" long piece. I might have to cut into thirds and do some fancy wiring to fit on top of my car roof. Not really practical I know, but cool for the few camping trips I'd use it for and cheaper than a commercial made solution.
