Solar Power Phone Charger

Timothy Said:

How can I convert a solar usb charger to AC?

We Answered:

The amount of power that have available from a solar powered USB charger is rather low - probably no more than a few watts. Inverting it to 120 v could easily use half of that just running the conversion circuitry alone before delivering any of it to the charger. What's left wouldn't be enough to run the proprietary charger that your camera uses.

There are USB chargers that can charge a pair of AA batteries but not quickly due once again to the low amount of power delivered by a USB port. The Canon BG-E2N Battery Grip can adapt 6 AA batteries to your camera. It may take you a day or two with a lot of sunlight to charge 6.
