Solar Bag Charges Laptops and More!


Voltaic Systems Generator Solar Bag It is all in the solar panel, and the good ones are usually really expensive. This high-efficiency Generator solar panel bag from Voltaic Systems is affordable for what it does … charge your gear! One hour in the sun will fully charge most cell phones, MP3 players or cameras. The solar panel Voltaic uses will generate up to 15 Watts of power,  plus it has a 58Wh Lilon battery built into the bag (which helps facilitate the charging process).

The most common adapters come with the bag, which is made out of recycled drink bottles. You have a choice of five different colors — distinctive orange, silver, green, white and a more discrete black. The MSRP of the Generator laptop-charging bag is $499 and can be found at select retailers. Check out their site: www.voltaicsystems.com to locate the retailer nearest you.

A pretty cool shade of green

That's a nice looking item, although the specs aren't exactly overwhelming. It's great to be able to carry around one's own power supply that is always regenerating (under optimal circumstances, that is) but it seems like solar power is a much more viable technology for home use instead. That's not to discourage innovative products like this, but I think the solar power industry is working a little backwards: It sounds more logical to me that improving the performance of home solar systems and focusing on their efficient use in the main power grid is the primary goal. After the technology is perfected, it's the perfect time to go mobile, just as the case has been with batteries, phones, and all sorts of other technologies.
