# Folding Solar Chargers The Aukey Solar Charger is Suited to Powering Camping Trips By Joey Haar | Published 2017-05-04 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aukey-solar-charger References: [digitaltrends](https://www.digitaltrends.com/dtdeals/aukey-folding-solar-charger-deal/?utm_source=feedly&utm_medium=webfeeds) & [amazon](https://www.amazon.com/AUKEY-SunPower-Efficiency-Adaptive-Charging/?tag=trenhunt0f-20) No longer do camping trips necessitate a complete and total break from technology thanks to products like the [Aukey](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-wireless-charging-system) solar charger. The convenient, foldable set of solar panels is both durable and affordable, letting campers get some extra juice even if they're miles away from the nearest outlet. Of course, a sufficiently wild camping trip should bring trippers out of the range of cell service (otherwise, venturing out into the woods is more or less pointless.) That said, there are still plenty of pieces of [camping gear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-power-solutions) that require a charge, such as flashlights, cooking equipment, and emergency satellite phones. The Aukey solar charger comes with a conversion rate of 23.5 percent, which is efficient enough to quickly charge multiple devices as long as the weather is sunny enough and it's left in the open. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.4/10 - Popularity: 72% | Activity: 82% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Foldable Solar Chargers:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore ways to improve the efficiency and portability of foldable solar chargers, making them even more convenient for outdoor enthusiasts. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Camping Equipment:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop innovative camping gear that can be powered by solar energy, reducing the need for traditional power sources. - **Renewable Energy:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Invest in research and development for more efficient solar panels, increasing the conversion rate and making solar energy more accessible for various applications. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Essential Camping Solar Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/essential-camping-solar-tables.md) - [Camping-Ready Portable Batteries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mobile-universe.md) - [Folding Solar-Equipped Camping Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ecoeshiner-solar-table.md) - [Origami Travel Solar Panels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solar-panel-origami-technology.md) - [Camp-Friendly Power Banks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/campfriendly-power-bank.md) - [Folding Solar Power Panels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dexpole-solar-power-bank.md) - [Easily-Rechargeable Portable Chargers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solix-522.md) - [Aerodynamic Electric Camping Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solar-charging-camping-vehicle.md) - [Expandable Solar Power Banks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deepsolar-x20-solar-power-bank.md)
