Brunton SolarRoll Solar Panel

Roll the Brunton Solar Roll up like a poster and stuff it in your backpack or luggage. This rugged portable solar panel charges your digital camera, camcorder, GPS, and satellite phone. Expedition members no longer need to pack heavy batteries for their worldwide journeys. Choose from the 4.5-watt, 9-watt, or 14-watt Solar Roll—all of them are waterproof, come with a carrying tube, and have built-in reverse-flow protection. These flexible solar panels have amorphous solar cells, which work great in overcast or indirect light. The 14-watt Solar Roll is the best option for charging laptops, though the lower-wattage options will trickle charge it.

Bottom Line: Quit hauling batteries into the backcountry and bring the lightweight, durable Brunton Solar Roll to charge your GPS and digital camera instead.

Fabulous Product

I took the 9 watt version to Peru in August. After a quick trip to the hardware store for suction cups with hooks, I was able to hang the roll in the window of the train. I charged iPod, iPhone using the included cigarette lighter plug and an after market 12 volt charger. I used the included multi prong adapter to plug in a AA battery charger and charge the AA's that I used. The roll worked great, took up little room and wrapping it around a water bottle in my pack gave me confidence it would not itself get crushed. Free energy is a great way to go.

Can you connect several panels together to increase power output?...

Can you connect several panels together to increase power output? For example, if I meet someone out on the trail who has a Brunton solar roll, can we boot them together and charge a laptop? If yes, is there a limit (I'm sure there is) to the number of rolls you can boot together before you get a catastrophic failure?

JR,
I suppose you could. But the weight of the stove and accessories you'll need to power it would most likely make it impractical and costly.

It really depends on the brand of the laptop, not the OS, but yes, it will. Read the description.

the brunton roll worked great. there are 2 outputs, and when i plugged multiple devices into the roll, it took double the time to charge. one device charges fast. make sure you have the correct adapters for your electronics before you leave on your trip.

It took a bit to tell if this was even working, but once it was it charged my phone and GPS just fine. I had a chance to demo this last year backpacking, was light, easy to use once you could see it was charging, and stored in the pack with really no extra weight.

Have the 9 watt model and it works very well. Got this for charging Ipod, cell phone, and gps. Charges pretty fast in full sunlight, haven't really used it in cloudy weather yet so...? Is actually very light, only packing issue would be size as it can't be rolled to tight. Excellent idea if you're needing juice for extended trips. Comes with several adapters including cigarette lighter plug( you can use car charger, making it easy to find right adapter).
