Voltaic solar bags, backpacks and chargers make a great gift for students or travelers who need to keep all their vital electronics constantly charged. Given that most of us are tied to at least one electronic gadget, it’s almost essential to have an electrical outlet nearby at all times. But
considering the hobbies and professions of some people, this isn’t always an option. The Voltaic series bags by Solar Power Generation gives us the means to recharge our essential electronics while on the go.
The Voltaic bags and backpacks have rows of small solar cells on their exterior, allowing you to recharge nearly any electronic device in your inventory without needing an outlet. Whether it’s a cell phone, PDA, MP3 player, or camera, Voltaic bags can recharge them all by plugging in a basic car charger. If a car charger is not handy, each bag comes complete with 11 standard adaptors to recharge just about any device.
Each bag features a Lithium Ion battery pack that will store any surplus power gained through the day, and they are obviously a great way to ease our reliance on basic electricity. You can find Voltaic’s full line of off-grid solar chargers @ amazon.com.

Those earphones are NICE. These are definitely great green gifts. I might get my nephew that solar powered speaker, he’s been making do with my old speakers and they have crappy sound. Great ideas, thanks a lot! Cheers!
