Here is the best solar panel kit I have seen for the VW Westy.  Not really
in the same league as what your talking about.  But, if you plan on camping
or living in the van for a while this is the ticket.

  Brunton makes a small solar panel that seems pretty cool. I saw at a
sporting goods shop. Their web site's down until June. I think it was 80
dollars.... and didn't let energy leak out over night... probably half the
size of the VW Solar Panel or smaller...
