Portable Solar Chargers a 'Bright Idea'

Editor's Note: The following press release reached my desk the other day, and I thought portable solar chargers for our mobile devices sounds like something campers and RVers would be interested in.

For those always on-the-go, keeping electronic devices like cell phones, PDAs, iPods, gaming systems, cameras and even laptops charged can be a challenge.

“Although car and other portable charging solutions abound, many people often find themselves away from an electricity source, unable to power their devices,” saidPaul Holstein of CableOrganizer.com – an eTailer offering a myriad of eco-friendly chargers and electronics. “There are many budget-friendly portable charging devices on the market that harness the power of the sun – a free and totally clean energy source,” Holstein says. “These mobile solar chargers also reduce the need for multiple chargers or adapters for each piece of equipment requiring power.”


Here are a few representative portable solar charging devices offered at CableOrganizer.com to help consumers to go green, without having to spend a lot of green.
