CIGS 52W Folding Solar Panel. There’s none of your piddling little iPod charging solar tech here, this puppy will push out a whopping 52W of power from its state of the art Copper Indium Gallium diSelenide panels. And you can link up to three of these together and re-charge a small village post office while you’re at it. Juicy. $880.00.
* 12V output for video and digital cameras; laptops and dvd players * Flexible high performance CIGS solar cells * Multi-section folding panels for ease of storage and use * Link up to three units together for more output * Charge vehicle batteries w/ battery clamp cable * Works in all types of weather, even in low light conditions * Built-in blocking diode prevents reverse battery discharge * Lightweight compact design
