jsaker, yes, this model does have the option for a solar panel. I actually had one on order, but I cancled it as I didn't want to spend another $100 if this camera doesn't perform how I want it.

If the camera starts taking the pictures that it should (if I notice that it triggers faster), I will probablly get the solar panel in order to solve that problem, but like I said, I am not putting that much money into this if it still isn't working like I want it.
