I think that its a great device for powering things up because not only does it provide clean solar energy but it can also be transported and used anywhere...

Come on Brian - this is not a green site where anything that comes along is praised.

Read about Mike's (anther moderator) ''solar monolith'' - not small and not light. Useful under certain conditions.

Solar power systems are generally not portable as people think of portable.

If only we could get rid of the battery and make the panel smaller....
Solar umbrella anyone?

Make the umbrella part out of thin film and stuff the handle with batteries problem solved.

Don't go putting ideas like the thin-film umbrella in my head - like I need another solar project.

I just downloaded the application and tech manual for the Enersys Cyclon battery which would be perfect inside the stand.. gonna' back burner this one, but cool idea!

+1 Usually cost way too much compared to what you get. (much like the Fisker Karma solar roof on their $100K cars).
