    Solar Panel Banner solar panels come in two common sizes for the DXM: 5 Watt and 20 Watt. Both panels are designed to work with the DXM but provide different charging characteristics. Use the 5 watt panel for light duty operation and use the 20 watt panel when you require greater charging capabilities.
