Project: S.P.R.E.E. (Solar Photovoltaic Renewable Electron Encapsulator), is an experiment in alternative energy and solar generated electricty.The impetus for construction was the desire to have my cellular phone and other small electronics run entirely from free* renewable solar energy.

how long does it take to charge the battery?

[WarcraftHermit]

that is a good idea for camping..

@nomoreremakes that is a standerd car power inverter you can get them at home depo between $10-$100

@taztaz79 That´s correct, he needs an 12/24V USB charger or he can use the car charger directly to the solar panel in the daytime.

[taztaz79]

if you are going to charge a cell phone.. dont buy an inverter for that!!! Thats only waste of power! Buy a 12v cellphone charger instead! :) If you don't need the inverter for other stuff that is! :)

@nomoreremakes Get them from auto parts stores, radio shack...Etc...$5 - $10

if it had more batterys to store power do you thing that it can support 40 watt cfls? maybe like 3
