In an earlier post you said "I already have a couple of those panels.". Instead of using a single larger panel, you could double your power by using two of your 1.8W panels with something like this:
12-Volt-Outlet-Splitter

Or 3 panels with something like this:
3-WAY-ADAPTER-AUTO-SPLITTER

I'm still not sure that you'd get very good results, though.

The solar charging system that I'm working on will use from 1 to 4 of those 1.8W panels but also includes a 12V gel battery along with charge control and low voltage cutout circuits that I've designed.
