Sounds like a fun experiment. That should be enough to keep your phone charged or maybe power a small laptop.

I like to use boost style charge controllers and run the panels in parallel boosting up to 48 volts (nominal.) This is optimal for sub 2kw arrays (otherwise you'll start needing impractically large conductors.)

Although with a set up that small it doesn't really matter.
