SOlar Panel Charger for Tab????

[Benson881]

Hi all,
I am looking to buy a galaxy tab for going away with and am wanting a solar panel charger for it instead of using mains supply.
I was wondering if anyone had one or could recommend one to me?
Ive heard the powertraveller range is quite good, but i dont know which one is compatible.

Regards Jim

You will need a solar panel the size of a car roof to recharge the tab daily.
You can find them in camping supplies shops

You want the Powertraveller Solar Gorilla, the Solar Monkey is too small. Good products though. used them for years. (Solar Monkey is charging my small battery pack right now!)

Edit: I've just tweeted them to make sure the Solar Gorilla will charge the Tab.

Edit edit: They're checking...

You would need roughly a 15W panel @ 5VDC. But that's in full direct sunlight, with no charge controller or diode isolation; feeding directly into the Tab (probably not the best way to do it). A panel of that size would probably run you close to $300.

Thanks for replaying guys,

Just been looking on the powertraveller website and there £140. Didnt realise i was gonna need something so big. The gorrilla is designed for appliance 40watts and under so that should be fine.
Sun strength shouldnt be a problem caus im going to afgan in there summer.

Thanks for tweeting them. Any news?

Regards Jim

Just been on Ebay and there one for £100
