Hi Daan,
I use them frequently and have been having reasonable results (all pending =
proper matching battery to Solar panel, panel-wattage/power-needs ratio and=
of course light conditions) with the waterproof, nearly indestructable, re=
asonably lightweight and also operatinal at lower light intensities (typica=
lly of my Dutch and other (forested) moderate sea climate conditions) rolla=
ble panels of Powerfilm http://www.powerfilmsolar.com/products/?r7__7_watt_=
rollable_solar_panel&show=3Dproduct&productID=3D271515&productCategoryIDs=
=3D6578.
I typically use 7 Watt panels -either stand-alone or in parallel for more c=
harging current- which, at 14.5 Volts (max) deliver 500 mA (max) each (in o=
ptimal conditions. Weight ca 280 grs..
As said, one needs to carefully match the panel with the current/power rece=
ptive device (typically an intermedate rechargeable battery-pack., although=
I also directly couple them panels to my PIXO C-USB one charger fitss all =
for my AA's Li-IOns Camera batts et cet.)).
For details/support I recommend a look at Graham Morfitt's Modern Outpost w=
ebsite http://www.modernoutpost.com/about-us/ &
I purchased my panels with him and am very content in both pricing/ordering=
and pre-after sales. Knowledgeable and helpfull Found/owner of the company=
.
Am not shure whether he still delivers goods to overseas (Netherlands in my=
case). Feel free to contact me for details, closer inspection.
My 2 cents hope it helps ...

Onderwerp: [Nature Recordists] Portable solar chargers?
Hello,
Does anyone here use portable solar chargers for charging recording equipme=
nt (batteries) when out and about and not near an electricity source? If so=
, I'd be curious to hear your recommendations.
Thank you,
Daan
