I have looked into Solar panels for charging and saw a video by Nomads Trails . They purchased a semi flexible solar panel that is not over marketed garbage. You see these kind of panels on the surfaces of boats. The solar cells themselves are actually made in the USA. The panels are assembled in europe. I am going to try one of these panels out. Items to charge will be my phone, camera batteries and a set of daylight visibility lights. In addition a book reader and camp headlight. If i have a problem I can charge the passthrough battery somewhere, but prefer to avoid doing this like the plague.
