Product Types...

Mini solar panel chargers for small electronics...

Powering small electronics such as cell phones, PDAs, video games, MP3 players, requires a panel that can supply power at 3, 6, or 9 volts. The ideal chargers for this type of application are the Mini Solar Panel Charger, Wagan Solar e-Power charger, ICP iSun Brunton Solaris-USB solar chargerSolar Charger, or the Brunton SolarPort 4.4. The Brunton SolarPort and ICP iSun are better suited to slightly larger demands or in locations where daylight intensity is weaker. The Wagan e-Power is designed for cell phone charging, and the Mini Solar Panel is designed for a variety of uses.

Portable Clamshell Chargers...

The Brunton SolarPort 4.4 and the ICP iSun Solar Charger are designed to travel well, and feature adaptors and power output voltages suited to powering small office electronics such as cell phones, notebook computers, Palm Pilot PDAs (Personal Digital Assistants), etc. Having the ability to connect these two chargers to external battery chargers makes them also extremely useful for field workers who need to keep radios and GPS gear operating.

BatterySaver plus solar panel trickle chargerVehicle Battery Chargers...

Keeping stored vehicle batteries charged is easy when using the small trickle charging panels like the ICP BatterySaver Pro and CycleSaver. These panels deliver s small maintenance charge to vehicle batteries during daylight hours and are ideal for remote homes and lodges that have ATVs, snowmobiles, motorcycle, or extra vehicles that are stored for extended periods of time.

Remote Equipment Power...

PowerFlex flexible solar panelsRV and boat owners know the value and utility of flexible solar panels. These products have been in use for years for providing offset power to batteries. The PowerFlex line of flexible panels store easily and can be connected in seconds. Even the largest 20 Watt panels does not require the use of a charge controller when used alone. Hikers, campers, and field workers can also use these panels for charging important gear. Farms and research stations find the weatherproof construction of the PowerFlex flexible solar panels and the BatterySaver Pro 5W ideal for powering remote sensor equipment.
