solargorilla
Imagine it...free power anywhere...
In
the desert, on safari, up a mountain or simply on the move, the
solargorilla portable solar charger gives your powergorilla
juice anywhere under the sun. solargorilla is also a viable charging
option for laptops under 40 watts and it can even charge your mobile
phone, iPod, handheld games consoles and many more devices from the 5V
USB output.
solargorilla works via two PV (photovoltaic) solar
panels, which generate electric current when they are exposed to
sunlight. The solar panels are made of glass which greatly improves the
performance of the solargorilla as well as making the aesthetics of the
unit better. The Red LED on the solargorilla indicates the strength of
charge - the more UV intensity - the better it will work! The
technically advanced solar panels ensure superb power and reliable
performance, all housed in a tough outer casing.

Note:
solargorilla is a charging option. It is primarily designed to be used
in conjunction with the powergorilla and may not work with some laptops
over 40 watts directly. It relies on the UV intensity of the sun.
Therefore, at certain times of the year it may not be suitable for use
in the Northern Hemisphere unless combined with the powergorilla. The
solargorilla solar charger has been trialled successfully in the
Southern Hemisphere by aid agencies, emergency services, the military
and adventure travellers, where power is a crucial element of their
communications strategy. The David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation
suffered communications problems in the past and the products have been
hugely acclaimed as being a long overdue solution to power issues.
Pre-production units have also been on field tests in Africa, Australia
and even Afghanistan. The solargorilla was extensively field-tested in
the UK earlier this year, where it powered a number of laptops for a
week at a time.
