#1 - Renewable Energy > Technical Discussion: Other > small scale battery charger

Hello,

My experience and understanding of solar energy is limited to the 1 amp panel I run on my camper trailer that uses 2 car batteries and 200W inverter to power some pretty basic electronics.

Using this system has gotten me thinking about products that would be much smaller, something that I could use to charge my MP3 player or cell phone when in the bush.

I have seen some products available for sale, and am wondering if anyone has advice for a do it your selfer. What kind of controller is needed to charge lets say an IPOD, or rechargeable AA batteries. Do I need a battery and inverter, or is there a simpler solution?

Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Greg.
