Amazon.com Product Description
Representing the next generation of solar panel technology, the Solaris 26 maximizes performance while taking up virtually no space at all. The unit's multi-section design folds up into a compact footprint that's just a bit larger than a DVD case, while still delivering an impressive 26 watts of power, more than enough to charge a laptop or digital video camera or power a satellite or cell phone. In addition, the unit's high-performance CIGS solar cells--the most efficient thin-film solar technology available--are extremely reliable, with a design that instinctively converts incident sunlight into an electrical current, even in low-light conditions. The combined functions make this an ideal panel for camping trips, hikes, power outages, and other occasions when it helps to have a portable power source on hand. The Solaris 26, which measures 21.5 by 37.5 inches when open and 11 by 8.5 inches when folded, includes a battery clamp cable for charging car batteries, along with vehicle outlet and multi-linking cables. It's also backed by a one-year warranty. What's in the Box?
Solaris 26 foldable solar panel, vehicle outlet cable, multi-linking cable, battery clamp cable, storage sack, user's manual.

 Superior Product. Way beyond my expectations October 12, 2008
When our Bruton solaris 26 was delivered I could not wait to test it. I purchased this thinking at best it would keep a few items charged for me while camping.
I was amazed at our test results.
All batteries (on every item we tested), we 100% fully discharged. Absolutely drained! When we plugged them into the Solaris I could not believe it not only charged them, but it operated them as well as soon as we plugged them in! Even a Sony PSP!
(some of the tests included a radio and a GPS unit).
I did not test our laptop since I need either an invertor (it's on the way), or a DC plug for it (which I don't have at this point)..... but I would be willing to bet it would definately extend the life of a laptop while you operated it.
Don't even 'think' about buying this product, just buy it now! I cannot wait to link 2 of them together and see what kind of power it will provide.
Highly recommended. (Ok, I just cannot say it enough)

This is a GREAT product. Took it to Kenya for a photo-safari. We tied it to the top of the Land Cruiser and with an Impact universal charger was able to charge all of my batteries and most of the others' in the group. Could have sold several over the course of three weeks.
 works very well, lightweight July 31, 2008

I live off-grid, and have been researching solar chargers for two years...it works perfectly for iPods, handheld games (we only have the Nintendo DS), cell phones, and battery chargers (AAA and AA)...i hope to use it with my mac laptop, but cannot find a car/lighter type charger (am still looking!)...it also works well even with long term haze or some clouding...if interested, I recommend to put this item in your shopping cart and watch the prices, i've seen it from $299 to well over $400, so unless you need it asap, you can buy it when the price falls.
Even Better Than Advertised June 18, 2008

I am a nature photographer, and spend significant intervals a long ways from a power outlet. I recently used this solar charger to keep lithium ion batteries charged for my digital camera. I am pleased to report that it works even better than specified. I was able to charge two Olympus BLM-1 batteries simultaneously, in a couple hours in sunny conditions and in six hours in cloudy conditions. Even when the temperature fell as low as 25 F, the charger worked just fine.
The units folds up into a small comparatively small bag. You wouldn't use it for ultralight backpacking, but it worked fine for me, and is comparatively light in relation to my camera gear. The charger got rained on, got mud splashed on it, and was stepped on my a small child, and survived it all just fine.
Sturdy, durable, portable, powerful and effective. Highly recommended.
(I saw one review complaining the unit wouldn't power a laptop computer. That's true. You'd need two. It won't power a refrigerator or a dishwasher, either. But if you need to charge batteries, this works great.)

I was able to charge my mobile in 2h in full sunshine and my small tv. I am really happy of it.
