In the desert, on safari, up a mountain or simply on the move, the Solar Gorilla gives you power anywhere under the sun. Solargorilla's 24 volt and 5 volt USB socket make it the ultimate renewable power station for your laptop, mobile phone, iPod and many more devices.
Solar Gorilla works via two PV (photovoltaic) solar panels, which generate electric current when they are exposed to light. The solar panels are now made of glass which greatly improves the performance of the solargorilla as well as making the aesthetics of the unit better. The green LED on the Solar Gorilla indicates the strength of charge - the more UV intensity - the better it will work! The technically advanced solar panels ensure superb power and reliable performance, all housed in a tough outer casing.
Solar Gorilla is compatible with most laptops, mobile phones, iPods, PDAs, handhelds games consoles and Sat Navs. You can even use it to recharge the fabulous Power Gorilla - simply attach it using the 2m extension cable and the L52D tip. A total portable power station!

Note: Solar Gorilla is a charging option. It relies on the UV intensity of the sun. Therefore, at certain times of the year it may not be suitable for use in the Northern Hemisphere unless combined with the Powergorilla. The Solargorilla has been trialled successfully in the Southern Hemisphere by aid agencies, emergency services, the military and adventure travellers, where power is a crucial element of their communications strategy. The David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation suffered communications problems in the past and the products have been hugely acclaimed as being a long overdue solution to power issues. Pre-production units have also been on field tests in Africa, Australia and even Afghanistan. The Solargorilla was extensively field-tested in the UK earlier this year, where it powered a number of laptops for a week at a time.
To use with Macbook, Macbook Air and Macbook Pro you will need an Apple MagSafe airline adaptor and one of our universal car charger sockets. The MagSafe adaptor is available.
