Hi,
New to solar and really interested to learn as much as possible from this forum and hopefully decrease my families footprint over time.
My first project with solar Is to incorporate a flexible solar cell into bike messenger hip bags. I currently make a few small hip bags/pouches
which attach to your belt to carry phone, wallet, spare tube, keys and maybe another small item.
What i was wanting help with is what size (voltage/watts?? im not sure what you measure it off?) solar panel would i require to charge an
iphone or similar device off it? the surface area on my small bags/pouches which could have a flexi solar panel incorporated in to it measures approx 6X6 inches. (is this ok? or do my bags need to be bigger?
-Is this large enough for a solar panel powerful enough to charge an iphone/ipod/other type of phone?
-With a solar panel this size is it possible to charge the device directly? or would it take to long? or just not possible and option is to have a
battery installed in lining of bag as well?
Hopefully someone on the forum can untangle me from this problem?
And if you can recommend suitable solar panels that you think may be what i need for sale online thats a bonus!
Many thanks in advance Julian
ps. i did a search on forum but couldn't find anything that showed info i was after.
