PowerTraveller SolarGorilla

Just imagine it - free power anywhere ...

In the desert, on safari, up a mountain or simply on the move, the SolarGorilla gives you power anywhere under the sun.

SolarGorilla's 24-volt and 5-volt USB sockets make it the ultimate renewable power station for your laptop, netbook, mobile phone, iPod, handheld games consoles and many more devices.

SolarGorilla works via two PV (photovoltaic) solar panels, which generate electric current when they are exposed to light. The solar panels are made of glass which greatly improves the performance of the SolarGorilla as well as making the aesthetics of the unit better.

The green LED on the SolarGorilla indicates the strength of charge - the more UV intensity, the better it will work!

The technically advanced solar panels ensure superb power and reliable performance, all housed in a tough outer casing.

SolarGorilla is compatible with most laptops, mobile phones, iPods, PDAs, handhelds games consoles and SatNavs. You can even use the SolarGorilla to recharge the fabulous PowerGorilla - simply attach it using the 2-m extension cable and the L52D tip. A total portable power station!

Note: SolarGorilla is a charging option. It relies on the UV intensity of the sun. Therefore, at certain times of year it may not be suitable for use in the Northern Hemisphere unless combined with the PowerGorilla.

The SolarGorilla has been trialled successfully in the Southern Hemisphere by aid agencies, emergency services, the military and adventure travellers where power is a crucial element of their communications strategy. The David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation suffered communications problems in the past and the products have been hugely acclaimed as being a long-overdue solution to power issues. Pre-production units have also been on field tests in Africa, Australia and even Afghanistan.

The SolarGorilla was extensively field-tested in the UK earlier this year where it powered a number of laptops for a week at a time.

To use the SolarGorilla with Macbook, Macbook Air and Macbook Pro, you will need an Apple MagSafe airline adaptor and a PowerTraveller universal car charger socket.
