So through a series of fortunate events, I just scored one of Goal Zeros new products for use this summer. It's smaller than your typical piece of paper and unfolds to reveal the two solar panels. Everything connects with either USB or they even have the female side of a cigarette lighter connection like in your car. It's super small and lightweight and came with the rechargeable battery pack with 4 AA batteries. They want me to take it with me down to Peru in three weeks and give it the works, so I am pretty excited about that.

You guys should check them out, they're a great group of people and a fairly new company. I'll put some pictures up later.

Here's a link to the kit: http://www.goalzero.com/shop/p/79/Guide-10-Adventure-Kit/1:1/ I haven't had much time to mess around with it, I just set it out on the floor in my apartment with the window open and plugged in my phone...and it worked haha. They also gave me two of their luna lights which are very bright and plug in via the USB port. Definitely worth getting lost trying to find their office.

What stats are you looking for? Most of them are covered in the Technical Specifications tab on the page for the kit @ the link above.

cool didnt see that but i was looking for the output of the panel it self. they have the voltage but not a typical amperage in sunlight. i guess its a wash since the system is made to charge the battery back and then use that to power things. pretty cool product though

Casey, this thing is pretty cool. Let us know how it holds up for you and how well it works, charge times, etc.

It isn't used just to charge the battery pack. It's got a DC input and USB port on the far right panel of fabric (the black part above the pocket).
