Portable Solar Camping

What would you suggest? In all price ranges. What's your favourite and why?

OR

Solar Power (panels I guess) that could power an electric stove. How would I plug the electric stove to get power from the solar panel?

Though I have not used one myself I would trust any of these solar cooking products on this page from Real Goods (link below), the consumer product sales division of the Solar Institute in California.

My new project and first HD video. Tried to record in 1080 with my new camera but for unknown reasons it would not save the files, so 720p will ...

I want to know if anyone has one and has actually used it, if they have used it how long did it take to charge your phone and how much you got it for. Thanks

I have the Global Solar foldable solar panel that I use to keep by phone charged in the event of an emergency (yes, there are often cell towers near enough to where I camp and sail). http://www.altestore.com/store/Solar-Pan...

It would be great to charge when I am camping and stuff. Also I don't mind getting my

I am very much thinking about purchasing something just like the link below and I've asked several people about these questions but no one can help me....

My question is... How long will this run something like a small normal 60...

The specs given for this unit don't seem right. As someone else said they are usually advertised to supply more than you will actually get.

I'd suggest battery powered lights. If you simply must have more power then you should...

Ok i have this science project in two weeks....it has to deal with renewable sources and it's supposed to be a better version of what is already invented. I decided to build a solar powered water heater....possibly a small portable one that could...

You won't be buying the panel because anything manufactured is going to be too big. If it going to be for camping then it can't involve a pump or batteries as being too heavy. The best answer would be coils of copper tubing soldered to a copper...
