SunVolt Solar Panel Charger Lets You Charge Devices Directly

KickStarter Friday - Connect your mobile devices directly to Solar

There are a growing number of solar panels on the market and they are continuing to be added to. Interest has been increasing this week because of another disaster causing people to look at their emergency plans. There is interest in how to make sure you can keep your mobile devices going when there is no power for an extended period of time. And a disaster is one that can create that situation. A portable solar panel is one of the options you can look at. And one that lets you connect your mobile devices to it for charging is one you should consider. And one that does exactly that is SunVolt Solar Chargers which come in several different sizes to meet your needs.

This week's KickStarter project is the SunVolt Portable Solar Power Station where they raised more than double their goal of $30,000. This one closed in September of last year and is already selling their products on the Gomadic.com online site. What makes this one different than many of the portable solar panels is that it is a single panel. Many of the other ones on the market are a series of smaller panels put into a case. By having a single and larger panel, they are able to collect more of the sun's power.

This Sunvolt model presented here has 2 charging ports where you can directly connect up devices. Coming in at 4.3 pounds, the ballistic nylon case with handles makes it easy to carry. And with a size of 13 by 12 by 1.5 inches, this is a good sized panel to collect the sun's rays. The panel is rated to put out 8 to 14 volts depending on the angle you have set it towards the sun and the brightness of the sun. The SunVolt Max comes with a larger solar panel and can connect mobile devices to the 3 charging ports.

The SunVolt Solar Panel allows for you to connect up your mobile devices to charge them up. But, you can also charge up those battery chargers that many of us carry around so we can use our smart phone when there is no place to get power. The SunVolt also has an add on of the Solar Cache which you can purchase. It goes along with the SunVolt and holds a charge so that you can charge up devices when the panel is not set up and being carried.

This looks to be a great additional to your emergency package, though you will more than likely use it for many other activities. One of the best things about the SunVolt Solar Panel is that it has a lifetime guarantee which is unusual to see. For $100, this may become one of your most used chargers when there is no power around.
