Solar Charger for Notebook?

[ratNukit]

Hey guys,

I just wanted to know if there is anything like a solar charger for notebooks, since I'm going to stay in a cabin without electricity for a week, but still would like to be able to write on my notebook, so I'd need something for 19 Volts or something to charge the battery.

I'm open for any suggestions

I've not seen anything that's an all in one setup.

You'd be looking at getting a (few) solar panels, a charge controller and a big battery to store the charge in for when you need it. Is the cost of all that going to make it prohibitive?

The costs would probably exceed what I inted to spent on something like that.
So I'll probably have to print what I need and take an old fashioned pen with me.

I think I found something on the net http://www.solarlink.de/solarmoffgridl.htm

Not sure if I'm willing to spend 430 euros for it right now, but if I do I'll let you guys know if it worked well enough for my notebook.

That looks pretty cool, though if you are out in a cabin without electricity, enjoy it and take along a pencil and paper. You aren't ruffing it if you have a laptop.

I agree with Vicaphit. You could always get a power inverter for the car. I do that in the tractor-trailors when I'm gonna be sitting at a stop to watch movies.

Yeah, I got an inverter just recently off Woot. Haven't used it yet, but I have it if I need it on a long trip. Very good idea stollie, I never thought about that (I guess I didn't assume he would drive there).

You can see the solar charger for notebook for 20W that costs under 200 Euro at http://www.charger.od.ua It cost 1850 UAH (about 190 EUR) and delivery would be about 40 EUR all over the world.

I decided to go with the pen and paper, since I don't want to spend that much money on something I probably wont use that often.
