2) Blavor's Qi Solar Power Bank
"Great choice for people who're out for travel for long hours"
This 10,000 mAH power bank is the ideal choice for people who are out for travel for a long-hours.
You can charge this power bank through a built-in USB port or Qi wireless charging. Wireless charging is a great option for you if your smartphone is Qi enables and offers wireless charging. Wireless charging is based on the principle of electromagnetic induction. I mean inducing current without touching. The induction coil in the charger generates electromagnetic waves which the receiver at the back of the Qi enabled smartphone receives and converts it back into electricity and your smartphone starts charging. Great technology! This frees you from the hassle of tangled wires in your bag. This powerful solar bank can charge i-phones multiple times in a day. It takes around 6 hours to get completely charged with a 5V/2A adapter. Tip: Due to uncontrollable sunlight intensity, it is advisable to keep the power bank completely charged before leaving for the trip and keep this as a power back-up when no other power sources are available. It is made of very good quality ABS material and has a premium quality lithium polymer battery, makes it sturdy and durable. This lightweight compact sized power bank comes with a dual flashlight and a compass that helps in navigation when going cycling, traveling, hiking, etc The anti-slip rubber provides you grip and the extra rubber at the corners offers a cushion against knocks and drops, collision, and accidental fall.

3) Voltaic Systems Solar Power Backpack
"Perfect for expeditions into mountains and forest who like filming and photography nature and wild-life"
You can keep and charge your laptop, camera, and smart-phone with 9 watt mono-crystalline solar panel attached with the bag.
If you're a traveler or a photographer who love nature and are out for places where little or no electricity is available then this high-performance solar backpack is going to provide you the power to the devices and its 25 litres space is enough to pack them along with other necessary items.
How does it work? Place the solar panel array outside under the sunlight, it will convert the sunlight into electric current that will charge your laptop, smartphone, camera, etc while you’re enjoying your picnic among friends. Its mono-crystalline solar panel with 20% efficiency means that one can charge even on dull and rainy days. The battery bank is fitted in the side pocket giving it more room for ventilation and keeping it cool and separate from other components. If you’re going for expeditions into the Himalayas for extensive filming and photography and little or no electricity is available for charging then this product is a safe bet to give desired results in harsh conditions. Tip for using: The panel should get direct sunlight for producing good current and charge your smartphones, laptops, etc. It’s a big bag with 25 litres capacity, specifically designed for long trips, hiking, expeditions in which you can keep all your stuff and can use it during an emergency. Think twice when you’re when you don not require that much space as the large bag may remain empty, giving you a clumsy feeling of hanging it at the back without that much stuff into it. The battery bank is placed in the side pocket, making this slightly unbalanced therefore you need to keep the flask to the other side to balance it. Its durable PET technology and hefty features makes it a bit heavier than its counterparts.
4) KAITOS's KA500 Solar Powered Radio
"Perfect for emergencies and disasters like snowstorms, hurricanes, floods when there is complete blackout"
How panic It would be not able to communicate with your dear ones and cut-off from outside world due to a complete blackout?
The KAITO's KA500 Solar Powered Radio is designed to rescue you from these emergencies. This NOAA-certified solar radio is programmed to receive wide range of frequencies like AM, FM, short waves. Moreover, its 7 pre-programmed NOAA weather stations automatically alerts you about any emergency or natural disaster on real time basis. I know one should not rely on only one power source during an emergency. That is why, this radio is different methods to get power like:
This multi-function radio can be converted into flash light, reading lamp, and an SOS emergency light. Therefore, gifting this product would be a great choice for those whose dear ones live in places where snowstorms, hurricane, floods etc are frequent.
5) Renogy's 100 watt portable mini-solar power system
"Generate your own electricity when you're outside, travelling, camping etc"
I would say that this kit is ideal for first-time users as it comes with all the things that are needed by the starters.
You'll find:
Tip: The output varies according to the intensity of sunlight. You may get 100 watt power in a clear and sunny weather while it may under-perform in the cloudy weather. There could be delay Due to heavy customer traffic, the customer care response time made be delayed. Be ready to flex your muscles as the weight is slightly on the heavier side but at the same time it gives the feeling that you're using a durable engineered product. My final thoughts
Although all the above products are best in their categories but it would a right match only when your energy needs and budget matches with the features of the product.
