9 Watt Flexible Solar Module
Description
Brunton's drive and desire to pioneer a line of rugged power sources led to
the introduction of the first flexible solar panel, the SolarRoll. Since then,
the evolution of this concept has flourished. Backed by glowing reviews in every
major magazine and newspaper in this country and others, the SolarRoll has officially
taken its place as one of Brunton's most talked about products. The proof, though,
is in the remarkable performance. The waterproof SolarRoll has given sea kayakers
the power to photograph their voyages from the far reaches of the planet. And
next spring, it will assist Ed Viesturs in his final summit, Annapurna, as he
polishes off the last peak of Endeavor 8000. Ideal for powering satellite phones,
members of expeditions worldwide pack the SolarRoll in place of expensive extra
batteries that don't offer much relief in the form of weight. Brunton realizes
however, that not everyone is defying the ordinary. Some of us simply need the
SolarRoll for charging our car battery or running our video camera. With this
in mind, Brunton is offering alternative sizes and outputs such as the SolarRoll
4.5 and the SolarRoll 14 to accommodate the growing demand for its most popular
solar panel.

Reviews
"Editors' Top Product Picks 2004"--Outdoor Photographer
"...this solar charger may end your battery woes for good."
--Backpacker Magazine
"If you can't bear to leave your gadgets behind, pack this waterproof
solar panel to power them. It rolls up like a poster and charges like a cigarette
lighter."--Newsweek
"A boon for off-the-grid campers, the 18-ounce, 57-inch-long Brunton SolarRoll
14 can harvest enough solar energy to power a mobile phone or laptop-or even
recharge your car battery. --Men's Journal
"Drape it over a tent in full sun and the 12-by-57-inch Brunton SolarRoll
14 will power a sat phone, GPS or laptop-it'll even recharge a dead car battery
in a lonely corner of Death Valley. Best of all, the 19.5-ounce solar panel
and adapter plugs can be rolled up and tucked away in a foot-long, three-inch-diameter
tube that'll slip covertly into your pack or kayak."
--Outside Magazine
"Gear Of The Year"- "Brunton's new line is a genuine breakthrough...Brunton,
a company renowned among outdoor types for first-rate optics,personal navigation,
and (especially) camping gear, has now pioneered a line of portable power equipment
that can generate, store, and convert electricity so many of us opt to use in
our hunting pursuits. This line is so ingeniously conceived and versatile in
scope it can keep the power on for anything from teeny AAA batteries to sat
phones to portable ice chests (and even my ravenous laptop)." --American
Hunter
"Now you can be a day's horseback ride or a ten-mile hike from civilization
and still have power."--Sports Afield
"The need to recharge batteries is a serious issue for expeditioners and
other see-you-in-a-month travelers. The best of the several solar chargers available
is the Brunton SolarRoll. It cranks out (surprise!) 14 watts, which is enough
to run a small device (camera, ipod) or chargea large one (laptop, car battery).
What really distinguishes it, though, is the way it can be stored - in a tube.
Unfurled, the Brunton is one by five feet; rolled up, it's a three-inch thick
burrito. It weighs just over a pound."
