A PowerFilm Solar Charger is a solar panel for the rest of us. In essence, these gadgets are portable solar panels that fold up for easy transport in a backpack, in a suitcase, or, in the case of the smallest charger, in a pocket. Here’s a closer look at the chargers PowerFilm offers.

The Technical Details
Originally created for use by the military, these foldable solar chargers are very durable and work even in low sunlight. Gadgets that are already 12V compatible may be plugged directly into the device; otherwise, get an adapter before you use it. Other types of PowerFilm chargers can be used to charge AA batteries and USB devices.

If you value technology and you’re simply always away from home, you might want to consider a solar GPS charger. These little devices are especially great for the camper, the traveler, hikers, outdoorsy and wilderness types, road warriors and frequent flyer’s, and international and business travelers.

Another option would be to buy a GPS device which has a built-in solar panel to ensure that it charges without the necessity of one more charger. The Proporta GPS receiver is a great demonstration of this type of device.

The Garmin Nuvifone G60 Solar Charger may also be charged in indirect sunlight, or pre charged via USB from any computer or USB charger if you’re say visiting Alaska at nighttime season and aren’t able to find any sunlight. Guarantee power when it’s needed.
