Solar Products for On-The-Go Photographers

Photographers are often on the leading edge of the eco-friendly, like they lead the way in most social revolutions. Unfortunately, far too few photographers avail themselves of today’s technology that can help them live greener, cleaner lives, but also make those lives more affordable – Solar Energy Products.

There are a number of great solar products on the market today that could provide a dramatic impact in the work and lifestyle of many photographers today. These products are mainly designed to provide portable and battery charging for many of the high-tech devices that photographers rely on everyday. Here are a few of these solar energy products that photographers can take advantage of to save a little money, and help save the world at the same time.

Solar Cell Phone Charger
As a photographer, I understand that it is nearly impossible to live without your cell phone today. They simply do so much – keep us connected, store our phone books, check our emails, even surf the internet for us. When you are out on assignment it is important always be charged and ready to go. A Solar Cell Phone Charger is the perfect solution – just put the solar charger in the sun and use all that free power to keep your cell phone battery charged and ready to go whenever you need it.

Complete Portable Power Systems
Many photographers spend a good deal of their time traveling around, and there is not always easy access wall outlets and reliable power to keep your camera batteries, phones, computers, and other high-tech devices charged up and ready to go. Any good Complete Portable Power System should include the following; high-quality solar panel(s), a battery for storing power as it is generated, a DC-AC Inverter to allow direct charging of appliances like they were plugged into the wall at your home or office, and a travel case that allows you to easily move the entire system with in one compact, portable piece. You can find a great line of Complete Portable Power Systems here.

Travel Solar Battery Chargers
Many of today’s hot shoe flashes are power hogs, and they run on very pricey AA batteries – often sucking the life out of a complete set of batteries in just a single photo session. Likely, you have switched to rechargeable batteries to lower your costs somewhat, but still, there is not always a place to recharge these batteries, or time in the home, office, or hotel room for charging all of them. A good Travel Solar Battery Charger, however, can charge a number of batteries on the road while you are using another set, and when the first set is drained, you can just switch, and never miss a beat. If you are interested, you can look here for a great variety of Travel Solar Battery Chargers.

Flexible/Portable Solar Panels
If you are looking for a less inclusive plan, or already have an inverter, you can go directly a flexible solar panel to carry around in your camera bag. These panels are extremely portable, and can be used to charge camera and computer batteries, any 12V or 6V battery you may have, and keep your cell phone, PDA, or other electronic device charged and ready to go.
