# Solar Powered Bags By Sugih Sutjiono | Published 2006-12-10 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solar-powered-bags References: [voltaicsystems](http://www.voltaicsystems.com/) Now here is a bag that doesnt just carry all your [mobile electronic stuff](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electronic-handbags) but also charges them. The bags produced by voltaic systems are fitted with [solar panels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/power-bank-wallet) which would then convert the sunlight to put out electric charge up to 4 watts. Each bag is also installed with a [Li Ion Battery pack](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/highperformance-portable-battery) which stores excess power generated, so that power is still available even when you're not under the sun. The bag could recharge most small electronic devices including: cell phones, cameras, two way radios, PDA's, and MP3s. But it is not designed to charge laptops. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 84% | Activity: 47% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Solar-powered Bags:** The trend of solar-powered bags presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the field of portable device charging. - **Mobile Device Charging:** The trend of mobile device charging bags opens up opportunities for disruptive innovation in the electronics industry. - **Green Energy Storage:** The trend of utilizing Li-ion battery packs in bags for storing excess solar power offers disruptive innovation opportunities in the renewable energy sector. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion and Accessories:** The fashion and accessories industry can benefit from the trend of solar-powered bags by incorporating sustainable charging solutions into their designs. - **Consumer Electronics:** The consumer electronics industry can explore disruptive innovation opportunities by integrating solar-powered charging solutions into their products. - **Renewable Energy:** The renewable energy industry can leverage the trend of green energy storage in bags to provide innovative and portable power solutions for consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Device-Charging Sun Hats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ecoflow-power-hat.md) - [Wearable Solar Power Stations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bluetti-handsfree-power-station.md) - [Homeless Support Backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-makeshift-traveler-backpack.md) - [Expandable Solar Power Banks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deepsolar-x20-solar-power-bank.md) - [Folding Solar Power Panels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dexpole-solar-power-bank.md) - [Solar-Ready Portable Power Banks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gosun-power-266.md) - [Solar-Powered Power Bank Wallets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/power-bank-wallet.md) - [Folding Solar-Equipped Camping Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ecoeshiner-solar-table.md) - [Easily-Rechargeable Portable Chargers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solix-522.md)
