Could solar panels power an Iron Man suit?

Suppose you use solar panels to charge a miniature engine for an Iron Man suit? Could that work? If you have like really small ones on your back, arms and legs or something?

So long as the solar panels covers several acres, can you get that much area into little ones on your back, arms and legs?

Being in the suit won't stop you from being smashed into jello if the suit got hit really hard no matter how strong the armor is.

Again acres of 100 foot diameter wind turbines.

1. A suit like that would require a large quantity of power.

2. Solar power does not supply efficient energy, It takes large amounts of time in the sun to power very little.

3. Until further advances in solar energy are developed, let alone engines that would be safe to use at any given time so close to a body, It is very, very impractical.

Nope. It's definitely not enough. You power multiple repulsors, jet-like boots and other stuff that require alot of power.

I don't really know the answer to this question, I just wanted to say that it sounds really awesome! :P
