Interesting project, but I'm not sure how practical it is. For less money you could likely forget the solar panel and stock up with 100 (or more) alkaline AA cells. Also, as far as I can tell, the Flip does not take external memory cards .. so that when the camera is full you have to upload the video to a computer or stop shooting no matter how charged your batteries are.
