Called “Juice Bags,” these designs all feature a flexible 7 watt solar panel, complete with 52 cells, fitted to the widest side of the bag. These cells captures light while you walk/jog/hike/run. There’s even a beach tote for lazier days in the outdoors.
What the bag is meant to do is power smaller 12 volt electronics, such as a cell phone or MP3 player, using a Car Light Adaptor (CLA), which comes built in to every bag. Other options for solar-energy capture include SolarReady Batteries, which can be purchased separately, plugged into the CLA, and used later on other electronics such as digital cameras.
In the winter most people find the need for sunlight, or any light, a serious need given the shorter days and decrease in time spent outdoors. Usually sun lamps come into play here, giving us the light we need to function, but hybrid solar lighting dishes may be coming not only replace our sunlamps, but all our lamps.
