The Juice Bag: Solar Powered Electronics

The Juice Box Daypack

Ready for a new twist on the solar backpack?  Then you’ll love the Juice Bag, with a built-in solar panel to recharge your portable electronics.  There are a number of models available, and it will satisfy your green leanings in several ways.

Wear the Juice Bag while recharging your laptop computer, MP3 player and/or cell phone with clean, solar power.  It even works for cameras.  There is plenty of room for your other belongings, too.  Not only can you reduce your electrical use, but the Juice Bag is made from recycled two-liter soda bottles.  With flexible thin-film solar panels that generate 7 watts (made up of 52 solar cells), its easy for you to convert free sunlight into clean electricity.

Among the various models of the Juice Bag, there is a beach tote, a solar backpack, and business Profolio.  The prices range from $200-400, with some introductory specials going on right now!

As noted on the Reware website:

Juice Bags come with a built-in Car Lighter Adapter (CLA) socket – the same plug as in a car. It’s universal. Just plug in the adapter you would normally use in the car that is approved for your phone, PDA, MP3 player or other 12volt device. The moment sunlight falls on the Juice Bags solar panel, the bag generates electricity. It is that easy!

With Juice Bags, you don’t need a battery to charge your 12 volt devices, but we offer an accessory line of SolarReady Batteries so that you can store the sun if you want. Just plug the SolarReady into your Juice Bag, store up sunlight, then plug the battery into your device later.

Solar powered electronics are as close as your backpack!

Sure, there are other solar backpacks and bags on the market.  The entry of Juice Bag into the mix will only have a positive competitive effect:  improving quality and driving down the prices.

Solar powered electronics are within reach!  Don’t plug into the outlet at home.  Recharge on the run… in the sun…. for free!

Juice Bags are manufactuered in the U.S. and are available online, and in some local stores.   Here in my hometown of Bend, Oregon, you can find these solar backpacks at The Solar Store.

Its not too early to start thinking about holiday gifts!  Maybe Santa will go solar thi year?
