Sir you really know your stuff. Especially like the heads up on the 20watt head room on the solar circuit.

How much would you say this equipment weighs? Sound ideal to bring on a Peace Corps mission in Africa, but only 80lbs of supplies may be brought along.

azskateboarder,

It weighs about 10 lbs. -- If you are looking for something for personal use, might I suggest one of the solar chargers from the Energizer Energi-to-Go line? They're smaller, lighter and designed for your personal electronics gear.

.

If you want something bigger, Horizon makes a few fuel-cell backed solar units that are light and easy to pack. (You add the water when you reach your destination.)

Peace,

Fr. Robert

@giusevasi it would work 1 if them units for about an hour, but you will need 2 of these units ( tv, ps3) so it will last about 30 mins. the conclusion is you will need to spend $140 carry a 10 pound unit around camping with you for 30 mins play.
