The summer is the best season to get outdoors and enjoy the sunshine, but let’s face it, we all like to bring our cell phones, iPods, and portable media devices with us. There aren’t a whole lot of wall outlets available outdoors, but there is a definite abundance of sunshine. Thus, portable solar panels are a great solution for powering our portable electronics and appliances while we’re enjoying the outdoors. It wouldn’t have been possible to find quality portable solar panels a decade ago, but a technology has become greener, solar energy has become much more efficient. Where a decade ago it would have taken a solar panel the size of an office desk to charge a cell phone, now there are foldable solar panels no larger than a notebook and capable of 12 volt output. Portable solar panels are lightweight and more than ideal for all kinds of summer activities including boating, camping, and backpacking.

As solar energy technology continues to advance, there will be even more solar powered devices that start appearing on the market. In addition, these devices will just continue to become more compact and even more efficient.
