Stylish Solar Panel Bags
When you think of hand held electronic devices such as cell phones or GPS systems, you know that they are everywhere and that everyone has them. If you have ever had your cell phone battery die on you in the middle of an important call, then you know how frustrating that can be. Have you ever thought about people who must travel to remote areas of the world handle being without their electronics? The great thing is, they can take portable power with them wherever they go by using solar panel bags.
Solar panel bags come in nearly any style you can imagine, backpacks, messenger bags, and even beach totes. Most of them use a universal 12v adaptor, just like a car lighter adapter that is approved for all of your electronic devices. Depending on the bags, you can also get an extra battery that will allow you to store up solar energy for future use.
For instance, Reware sells the Juice bags, which contains a flexible solar panel that puts out 7 watts of power with the 52 solar cells. The solar panel is removable so you can use it somewhere else or simply clean your tote.
One of the best things about all of these different solar panel bags is that no one even knows you are charging anything because they are so quiet and the designs are trendy enough that unless people are pretty savvy, they don’t even know that what they are looking at is a solar panel.
Most solar bags weigh between 2 and 3 pounds and many come with a Lithium-ion battery. They are designed both for ergonomics and for design – check out the models by Ralph Lauren for the chic businessman or woman. There are usually several different adaptors available, and though many are large enough to carry a laptop, most of them are not designed to charge a laptop battery. Don’t worry, that will come in the very near future to a solar panel bag near you.
