People think I'm some sort of Alien Astronaut getting on and off the bus/train with my Solar Back-pack. It's fun.
We should all be doing this.
I save a Fortune on my Ontario Electricity Bill by switching to LED bulbs, powering all my stuff with Small Solar Panels. Many people have $500/month Electricity bills and mine are $50 / month
They also have this one that is a lot more Power.

Thank you very much indeed, I never knew such a thing existed it's the answer to my problems. :)
I have been charging my phone, tablet and digital camera like this for a few years now.
Im actually looking for some solar panel setup to charge my laptop through usb-c. Ideally i want to charge a suitable powerbank which can charge my laptop. There are so many options with various reviews! This is helpful for sure. Thanks for sharing!
I check Amazon daily since there are always really good sales and excellent reviews.

Thanks for the link, will do! There is just so much equipment out there, and I like to get the best for my needs. I just need to sit down one day and get myself the nicest setup ordered :)
I had a quote for Solar and Trojan Batteries for our house and it was aroun $30,000 so I decided to just start small and wait for the prices on batteries to come down. In the mean time I have saved a lot of $$$$ by reducing our consumption to 10 kwhr per day.
Whats the cost of those backpacks?
They would be rad for going out on photography walks!
$99 - but you can get it for $49 on Amazon if you get their Free Cash-Back Credit Card. Voltaic Systems - Converter 5 Watt Solar Panel Backpack with Backup Battery Pack : https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CIYAFJW/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_U_x_gUUJAb79ZBPBW

Very cool. I need to get something like this. I've also been looking into solar panel options for the roof of my house.
