These solar bags are mobile power generators, designed to charge your devices without tying you to a power outlet, which makes them ideal for traveling.
Just plug a standard car charger into the bag and recharge most small electronic devices including: cell phones, cameras, two way radios, PDA's, and MP3s. Note: it is not designed to charge laptops--laptops require much more power than other devices. So you need a solar panel which can put out 15 watts of power (the bags put out 4 watts).
If you don't have a car charger, the bags come with a set of 11 standard adaptors for common cell phones and other devices (The company also offers a full range of optional adaptors).
Embedded in the outside of the bags are three lightweight, tough, waterproof solar panels which generate up to 4 watts of power. This means quicker charge times!
Inside each bag is a Li Ion battery pack which stores any surplus power generated, so it is available when you need it- not just when the sun is up. The battery pack can also be charged using an AC travel charger or car charger (both included). This makes the bags just as useful on the grid as off.

Includes adaptor plugs in universal sizes and for common cell phones, which eliminate the need to use a car charger for common devices
The three solar panels are tough, light weight, waterproof, and generate up to 4 watts of power
Indicator light inside the logo shows when the panels are generating a charge
Note: For maximum power output, angle the panels towards the sun. When the panels are in direct sunlight but not angled towards the sun the power declines about 20%. When they are angled away from the sun the power drops off 80-90%. Dirt and scratches on the face of the solar panels will reduce the amount of light hitting the solar cells and reduce the power generated. To clean them use a damp non-abrasive cloth.
