Brunton SolarRoll Solar Panel

Brunton SolarRoll Solar Panel description

Roll the Brunton Solar Roll up like a poster and stuff it in your backpack or luggage. This rugged portable solar panel charges your digital camera, camcorder, GPS, and satellite phone. Expedition members no longer need to pack heavy batteries for their worldwide journeys. Choose from the 4.5-watt, 9-watt, or 14-watt Solar Rollall of them are waterproof, come with a carrying tube, and have built-in reverse-flow protection. These flexible solar panels have amorphous solar cells, which work great in overcast or indirect light. The 14-watt Solar Roll is the best option for charging laptops, though the lower-wattage options will trickle charge it.

I've used this on sunny days using the 'car adapter' to re-charge AA and AAA baterries (using separate battery charger) as well as my cell phone. It works good as long as the sun is bright, a brief cloud passing overhead shut it down. Does not roll up very tightly - I was hoping to roll it up into a cigar sized diameter, but could only manage to get it down to a water bottle size as mentioned by others.

I took the 9 watt version to Peru in August.After a quick trip to the hardware store for suction cups with hooks, I was able to hang the roll in the window of the train. I charged iPod, iPhone using the included cigarette lighter plug and an after market 12 volt charger. I used the included multi prong adapter to plug in a AA battery charger and charge the AA's that I used.The roll worked great, took up little room and wrapping it around a water bottle in my pack gave me confidence it would not itself get crushed.Free energy is a great way to go.

It took a bit to tell if this was even working, but once it was it charged my phone and GPS just fine. I had a chance to demo this last year backpacking, was light, easy to use once you could see it was charging, and stored in the pack with really no extra weight.
