Solar Powered
Backpack, power in a bag
A solar powered backpack is simply a
bag that harnesses energy from the sun during the day. The
backpack can store energy and it can be used for charging
electronics when one is not near a power supply. The solar
backpack is easy to carry and can be used on many hand held
electric gadgets like phones, digital cameras, Ipods and
laptops.
Features of the Backpack
The solar powered backpack has many features
that would make life in the 21st century easy for anyone.
It has an AC outlet that makes it possible for it to be
charged in the car in case the sun does not power it
completely. It also comes with a battery pack that can be
used to store power even after the sun is long gone. This
means that any power that is not used does not go to
waste, but rather gets stored to be used later.
The solar
backpack also come equipped with standard adaptors that
can be used to charge many hand held devices like phones or
laptops. Apart from that, it comes complete with wires
channels for connecting hands free and head phone cables.
This means that as it is slung to the back, the user can
comfortably use it without having to put it down.
Advantages of a Solar Backpack
Not only does it serve as a
carriage bag, the solar powered backpack gives the carrier
power wherever they need it. On a completely sunny day, the
solar panels can harness up to 4 watts of power. This can be
translated to one and a half hours of talk time on the phone or
a fully charged laptop battery.
It is easy to carry as it is made of light material. The
outer fabric is covered with a light mesh that ensures free
flow of air. With that in place, the solar powered backpack
will never heat up. In case of rain, the solar panels are made
out of waterproof material that will ensure the bag does not
get wet.
For laptop users, the bag is completely safe to store a
laptop without fear of damage. The bag is well padded to ensure
that any gadgets put inside are safe. It is also big enough to
fit a 15 inch screen laptop!
The solar powered backpack also serves the purpose of an
ordinary bag, that is, it stores a person’s belongings while
traveling. It is not too big and looks just like a normal bag.
This makes it convenient as it fits in the lifestyle of the
user. The size of the bag also makes storage rather easy. No
special care is necessary when storing it.
Another main advantage of having the solar powered backpack
is its cost effectiveness. Because it uses power from the sun,
it makes it absolutely free to use. The only cost incurred is
the cost of the bag itself. One can use it comfortably without
fear of a power blackout. It can be worn as a sling bag or a
backpack.
