Solar Bags
Our Solar backpacks are enviro friendly mobile power generators, specially designed to charge your devices anytime…anywhere! You will never need to be tied to a power outlet again! In today’s world being mobile is an important part of our lives, whether its for business or pleasure. Technology is giving us the ability to carry around a vast range of portable devices that we rely on everyday.
Each backpack or bag consists of four main components: bag + solar cell panel/s + battery charge pack + adapters. Most bags even come with a rain cover built into a zipped compartment at the bottom of the bag.
The Solar bag can recharge most small electronic devices including: cell phones, cameras, PDA’s, GPS, PSP games player and MP3s. Note: Only our high capacity battery charge packs (8800mAh) are suited to charging Laptops up to 20V.
The bags/backpacks are made to high quality and each model of bag or backpack we have to offer is designed for comfort, practicality and durability.
Keep up with the pace of technology, these bags are essential for your busy lifestyle.
How They Work
The battery pack, conveniently stored in one of the many internal compartments of the bag, can be recharged using the solar panels on the bag. A 1m long spring cable connected to the solar panels has a mini USB adaptor on the output end, this end plugs into the battery pack for charging. You can then transfer the power stored in the battery pack (or even whilst it’s being charged) to your devices using the USB cable, which has a universal output adaptor that each of the device adaptors can attach to. Simply choose the adaptor to suit and plug into your device. See image below.
For optimum charging the solar cells should be angled and directed towards the sun. Alternatively for your convenience, the battery pack can also be charged via a USB AC wall charger, USB DC car charger or even via the USB port on your laptop or PC! The battery pack simply stores the power until you need it!
Comfort
The comfort can be attributed to the ergonomic designs – cushioned linings on the back of the bags/backpacks and shoulder straps, and extra straps for around the chest and waist.
Practicality
The practicality is evident with the multiple storage compartments in each bag/backpack. The stooge compartments include holders for your electronic devices, pens and other stationary. The rain covers are a necessity especially if you’re carrying around those expensive electronics! The rain covers come conveniently stored at the bottom of most of our backpacks. Let’s not forget the innovative patented solar panels, battery charge packs and the associated electronic device adaptors.
Durability
Durability and quality is our main focus. We have an independent inspection contractor undertake inspections of every bag/backpack we have the factory make, EVERY single one. Each inspection is meticulous and documented, any bag/backpacks that do not comply with our strict standards are rejected.
The main materials for each bag/backpack are noted with each item on the online shop.
- The economical backpacks are made from 600D polyester with a waterproof coating, this strong material is ideal for use in your everyday backpacks.
- The next material we use is 1680D Nylon this is waterproof and is much more durable suited to tramping, bicycle and motor cycle riders, camping and in our view great for laptop bags.
- The third material used is 600x600D ripstop polyurethane. This material is lite, waterproof, strong and agile, the traits required in tramping and backpacking packs.
Our bags are SGS certified, showing that the bags/backpacks and solar panels comply with strict international standards (ISO, CE and RoHS).
