I was writing a column this month and mentioned the upsweep of
solar-powered gear the last few months and my editor’s editor (why do I love blogging again?) was all huh?. And yes, okay, solar power isn’t anything new, but the new high-efficiency panels are really starting to happen, like this entire new ‘Solar Style’ line of gear called the ‘PV Solar Chargers.” You’ve got yer solar bag, yer flip-out notebook charger, ya gotcher cell phone case with a charger—this stuff is taking off.
The Solar style gear doesn’t seem to be quite ready for retail yet, but you can order a ‘sample kit’ for 200 bucks, which I’m guessing includes a few different units to try out. The press release lists my arch-enemy AirWater Corporation, though, so these might be a force for evil. Be careful. (Thanks, Kelly!)
