You all know what “go green” stands for: it's all about using renewable energy. Alternate energy sources to ease the fate of our environment which, you must admit, cannot go on like this for too long, anymore. Solar energy, wind power, muscle power, any kind of truly natural energy not involving gas, coal, oil and the like are all most welcome sources of electricity and can provide us with a better future. And since one of the biggest sources of green energy is represented by the Sun, here's one more gadget to harvest this power and render it usable for the human needs: the Voltaic Generator Bag from Voltaic Systems.

This high-tech, eco-friendly bag is equipped with high-efficiency solar cells and is one of the few similar items around powerful enough to charge larger gadgets such as notebooks.

 

Sporting solar panels which can provide up to 15W, the Voltaic Bag brings in 20%-efficiency cells that really work hard. This way, you'll be able to fully charge the Volatic battery inside the bag in just five hours' time, which is truly great. The built-in battery pack stores enough power for a laptop charge and will deliver the right voltage automatically; the bag also comes with an assortment of common adapters for hooking up laptops, phones and a wide array of other portable gadgets that may need a boost.

 

The fabric of the Voltaic Bag is made from recycled materials; here's another strong point for the Voltaic Bag: it is made form recycled PET, and this means less soda bottles plaguing the environment. At the same time, this special material is very tough and water-resistant, providing you with better comfort.

 

The Lithium-Ion battery can be charged from a wall adapter as well, when needed, for example during the night. And you'll be able to read the status of the battery at a glance thanks to the LED indicator built in the very handle of the bag. You can start saving the Earth for $499; click here for details.
