Solar radiation is about 1kW per square meter. Max 2kW if you live in Africa from 11am to 1pm.
Max area of solar battery is 0.1m2. So you can count on 100W.
Efficienty of such battery is at level of 30% max (monolithic process which is very expensive), so we are talking about 30 from good battery, more about 18W from cheap one.
DC/dc converter is about 75-85 % at this voltage levels, so you can count on about 15 W from such solution.

It is ok for 0.5GHz arm + 1GBddr + ssd but nothing more at the moment.
No way to play Crysis on solar powered machine.

Check company G24i.
