Do solar panel cell phone chargers actually work?

I wiil be going on a camping trip soon and will not have any 120v outlets readily available to charge my cell phone or ipod besides a vehicle charger. But I was wondering if anyone has had any experience using portable solar photovoltaic panels to charge their cell phones or other small electronics? I’ve seen some on amazon.com, but Im a bit skeptical about buying one. A link and some information as to how well they work would be appreciated. Thanks.

Yes, they do! Portable solar panels can provide even more power for larger appliances like cameras, laptops, and cellular phones. Smaller items like MP3 players and the like can usually charge pretty well with lower cost chargers. Higher priced solar chargers seem to receive the best customer reviews, especially when it comes to recharging cellular phones.

However, there are few things to keep in mind: If the sun is not shining, then using a solar charger is not going to work. The cost of a quality solar battery charger is $ 50-$ 250, depending on what it is you want to use it for and how much power you require. Cellular phones require a lot more power than people think, so if you use your phone often and require it to be charged regularly, you may want to consider a universal hybrid solar charger. This type of solar charger can utilize both electric and the sun’s energy.

I gave up after trying a couple of them. They do not recharge under the sun.
