Portable solar power
Instead of keeping a drawer full of batteries in case of a power outage, how about a portable solar power unit? Solar power system manufacturer Solzar has introduced the MSolar, a small system perfect for emergency situations.
The MSolar device looks like a metal briefcase that is wired with solar panels and includes electronic accessories and batteries. The device comes in three sizes, 20W, 50W and 100W, selling for $646, $1,292 and $2,452 respectively. All three have a battery voltage of 12V and take 10 hours to charge.
In addition to emergencies, the MSolar can be used recreationally and for temporary lighting. It's currently on sale at the Amazon Webstore. For those of use still saving up for that home solar PV unit, this could be a less expensive stepping stone.
