it’s never easy to find a place to power up energy intensive smartphones and tablets. which is why portable solar panels have the potential to free the world from sparse wall outlets. the ‘solar charger’ from solartab depends only on the sun outside, and is capable of stockpiling power when its not. a robust aluminium frame encloses the solartab’s solar panel, giving the product its simple look. the cover is made out of soft, high grade polyurethane, which is both durable and water resistant and is capable of angling the panel in three different positions makes it efficient collected sun rays. an elastic band and strong magnets hold the cover firmly closed making sure it will stay closed and safe when put it in bag. 

the device is portable and slim

at 9.7 inches by 7.6 inches, the moleskine looking solar panel has two USB ports – 2.1A and 1A, and one micro USB port. an unique cover that  the panel itself is 5.5 W and incorporates a high capacity – 13 000 mAh – lithium polymer battery. weighing at only 400g and costing $119 USD, its a great addition for those summer vacations basking in the sun.
