Usb Solar Chargers

Amy Said:

Anyone know if there is a solar panel that you can travel with that is not USB plug in ?

We Answered:

Solar panels require a charge converter before it can be used by an AC source. There is no direct solar panel with built in charge converters that I know of because, when purchasing panels, you must purchase the wattage requirements of the job (this can be several panels linked), and a charge converter that will handle the 1<? panels required.

A chain of stores up here in Canada have a portable battery pack that has a solar panel to increase its charge capacity or duration, but its not something you would want to lug around for long periods of time, because is weights in about 13 lbs.
