Off Topic - Solar Chargers

[Col Defender]

Hi - does anyone have or know of a solar cell phone charger that actually works and does not cost a fortune? (Or a solar inverter for that matter though I think they are even more pricy).

Also interested in any info someone may have to share.

Colonel, I'm going to let this one sit in Becker for today and see if you get any input from the Becker folks.
Then, I'm going to move it to Gadgets & Gear, where you might have greater likelihood of getting some useful intel.

I like to have this around--it serves many purposes--its a decent radio, gets weather alerts, can solar charge my phone (via usb port), can hand-crank charge my phone--can play music through my phone (via aux input), a backup flashlight--runs off of multiple power sources--and around 50 bucks

Take at look at Goal Zero. http://www.goalzero.com/

I have the Guide 10 Plus. It will charge up your cell phone.
