If you went just ten years back in time to show solar power developers the kind of chargers that would be available in just ten short years, you would blow their science-loving minds. The SUNLINQ USB mini and plus solar chargers were made to charge most cell phones, including your Blackberry or iPhones, ipods, digital cameras and other USB-charging gadgets.

The SUNLINQ 12W was created to power up your 12v devices, using the intense power of our amazing sun. These solar chargers can easily roll up for simple transport and carry-with abilities, so you can take them camping or hiking. Since they are so compact and easy to carry, you can throw them in a backpack or a briefcase if you want to be more fancy.

This is one of the best solar chargers you can get for under $150.00 – and it’s received a lot of positive reviews from outdoors enthusiasts and tech-savvy folks as well.

With 8 Watts of power, the Spark provides about an hour of iPad runtime for every hour in direct sunlight. The Spark includes a battery to store power. It holds one complete iPad charge and can be re-charged from sunlight or a wall charger. It has two USB ports, one with “normal” USB output of 650 mA and a second “high-power” port which puts out 2A.

Sarah Fobes — Sun, 18 Jul 2010 14:26:54 +0000

We found this well-designed solar charger, called the i101 series from iceTECH USA, while we were researching the best solar chargers for USB devices. The iceTech can juice up 99% of all mobile phones or USB interface digital products which have operational voltage of 3.5-5 volts. The Solar battery itself can be charged two ways: 1. using direct sunlight or 2. plugging it directly into an electrical outlet.

Once the Solar battery is charged you can use it to charge other devices such as your cell phone or any iPod. It will charge them at the same time frame as your conventional charger. You can also charge your device when you are out (say, at the beach or the park) by plugging it into the battery and leaving the battery under direct sunlight.

Not yet. But USA Solar and Digital Communications Technologies, aka Muzatch, has developed the iphone’s first ever solar battery charger.
