Pull the edge-lit panels and add up all the draw ratings printed on the 
back.  You want to ensure you can supply enough power.

Only a few of the real panels I have draw less than an amp.  The right 
side console in the F-15 draws about 10A just for edge-lit panels.  I 
think the left side is around 15A, but it's been a while since I added it 
up.
