Photovoltaic Luggage
Solar-powered bags recharge your small electronic devices

The Voltaic™ line of solar bags are mobile power generators, designed to charge your devices without tying you to a power outlet, which makes them ideal for traveling.


Simply plug a standard car charger into the bag and you can recharge most small electronic devices including: cell phones, cameras, two way radios, PDA's, and MP3s.

Please note: these bags are not designed to recharge laptops.

If you don't have a car charger, the bags come with a set of 11 standard adapters for common cell phones and other devices. We also offer a full range of optional adapters.

Embedded in the outside of the bags are three lightweight, tough, waterproof solar panels which generate up to 4 watts of power. This results in relatively fast charge times.
