This 14w Solar Panel is obviously a copy cat of Goal Zero, but it is significantly cheaper and looks like it works well! plus it has two USB ports!

Compare $50 to Goal Zero's $150 for their 13w. No question!

I've been using that same solar panel and quite happy with it. The same company (Anker) makes pretty good external batteries as well in variety of different capacities which are a great way to capture energy so you can use devices during the day and recharge them at night. I still haven't found a good battery to pair up that allows recharging my camera's batteries.

I would also note that it's helpful to know what your amp hour needs are for a given trip. You might find bringing p[re charged batteries a better option to recharging devices.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
