Portable solar panels generate portable solar power and are useful in a variety of different situations. The units are small enough that they can be moved around and used to charge small electrical items, like calculators, cell phones, iPods and laptop computers. They are lightweight and small enough to suit a variety of needs.

The portable solar panels come with different specifications so that they can fit different energy requirements. Some even have foldable or rollable solar panels making them easy to move around. Some are compact enough to fit into a belly pack. They come with a rechargeable battery that is used to power the small electrical items.

The portable solar panel is laid in an area where it is exposed to the sun and hooked up to the rechargeable batteries. An inverter will convert the DC current generated by the photovoltaic cells into AC for storage in the rechargeable batteries. This then is used to provide power for the user. Power kits can be purchased for some of the units that will guarantee a power supply in any conditions.
