# Malleable Off-Grid Solar Chargers The 'LightSaver' Roll-Up Solar Charger Powers Devices Anywhere By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2019-09-21 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rollup-solar-charger References: [thegadgetflow](https://thegadgetflow.com/portfolio/roll-up-solar-charger/) & [amzn.to](https://amzn.to/309JGop) The 'LightSaver' roll-up solar charger is a malleable solution for outdoor adventurers that will keep them connected and power up when spending time off the grid in the wilderness. The pocket-sized device works by being unfurled to reveal a solar panel that can be positioned in the sunlight to soak up energy and relay it back to the accompanying [3,200 mAh battery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/charger-2). This will provide about 1.5 charges for average smartphones to ensure users stay connected, while the battery itself will take about six hours to be completely charged. The 'LightSaver' roll-up solar charger weighs just 4.9 ounces to make it ideal for carrying alongside other gear and can even be attached to the exterior of a backpack to passively charge while hiking. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.5/10 - Popularity: 77% | Activity: 79% | Freshness: 9% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Off-grid Solar Power:** Businesses can look into developing more malleable and portable solar power solutions for outdoor adventurers and those living off the grid. - **Mobile Charging Technology:** Businesses can explore creating even more efficient mobile charging technology to reduce charging time for on-the-go consumers. - **Integrated Outdoor Gear:** There is an opportunity for businesses to integrate portable solar charging technology into outdoor gear such as backpacks and tents for added convenience. ### Who This Affects Most - **Outdoor Gear:** The outdoor gear industry can explore integrating portable solar charging technology into their products, providing an added value and convenience for their customers. - **Renewable Energy:** The renewable energy industry could benefit from focusing on developing more portable and malleable solar power solutions to cater to a rapidly growing consumer demand for sustainable and off-grid living. - **Consumer Electronics:** The consumer electronics industry can benefit from incorporating more efficient and compact mobile charging technology in their devices, promoting an enhanced user experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Origami Travel Solar Panels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solar-panel-origami-technology.md) - [Folding Solar Power Panels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dexpole-solar-power-bank.md) - [Origami-Inspired Solar Panels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sego-innovations.md) - [Expandable Solar Power Banks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deepsolar-x20-solar-power-bank.md) - [Origami-Inspired Solar Panels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/levante-origami-solar-panel.md) - [Collapsible Solar-Powered Energy Stations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-energy-storage-power-supply.md) - [Camping-Ready Portable Batteries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mobile-universe.md) - [Solar-Ready Portable Power Banks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gosun-power-266.md) - [Rolling Technology Chargers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freestyle-wireless-charger.md)
