Description

Crystalline solar panels are great in direct sunlight at the height of summer, but when the sun goes a bit South, and the clouds are frequent, and the latitudes are high, thin film will always outperform. And to store that precious power, we need an efficient battery. The Trek North 20 is designed with these Canadian requirements in mind.

Reliable power in a solar kit designed for serious trekking in Canada. 20 Watts of highly sensitive solar panel, storing power in a lightweight battery pack capable of supporting everything up to & including laptops.

This is an ideal system if you are a dSLR camera user, need to operate a laptop, or have a more extensive set of small electronics like iPods, phones, small cameras, GPS, AA/AAA batteries, etc.
