It's easy to bring a portable solar panel on your next camping trip. This lightweight device doesn't take up much more space than a road map or a package of hot dog buns. Some models even fold up to fit in a backpack. Campers can use them to power or charge a variety of cooling, lighting, entertainment and communications equipment. You probably already own some electronics that could run on solar energy.
Entertainment
Many people enjoy listening to music and weather reports when camping. Portable solar panels provide a convenient solution. They supply enough electricity to run most radios and some small TV sets. These devices typically have DC power jacks that you can use to connect them to a panel. Small photovoltaic panels also have the ability to power cassette, CD and MP3 players. Perhaps your child wants to bring a remote control toy to the campsite; you may use the panel to charge its battery as well.
Outdoor Comfort
A small solar panel can also make your camping experience more comfortable.
