How To Get Your Own Solar-Powered Bag
October 23, 2008
You’re in the middle of an important call and your phone dies. Or you’re on an airplane when your iPod runs out of batteries. If you’re like most gadget-carrying people, these scenarios are familiar and can leave you feeling helpless.
But never fear, the solar-powered bag is here! With flexible solar panels attached to small batteries, these bags allow you to charge your electronic devices where ever the sun shines. There are a few companies that make solar-panel bags like Eclipse and Voltaic Systems but the most stylish ones we’ve found are from Noon Solar.
From their website:
All of our collections at Noon Solar are inspired by the need to rethink the way things are made, and what they are made with. Each material used in our bag is specially chosen for its longevity and its ability to biodegrade. The other materials, such as the hardware and the solar panels can be reclaimed and reused for many generations of bags.
By integrating solar panels into our bags, we offer not only the convenience of portable power, but also a means for all of us to incorporate renewable energy into our daily lives.
