Use the power of the sun to charge your gadgets with this ultra thin solar charger

Paying your electric bill every month is a real drag when you can get as much power as you want from the sun – for free. Ok, it’s not totally free because you need a solar panel to collect the power and they aren’t free. But if you are interested in going green, consider starting out with a small solar charger like Solar Paper from Yolk Station.

No, the Yolk Solar Paper doesn’t use eggs or chickens and it’s not made from paper. Solar Paper is a thin lightweight dual solar panel that will charge all of your USB gadgets.

It’s 3.5 x 7.5 x .43 inches when it’s folded and outputs 5V, 500mA per panel. Need more power? No problem, you can add additional solar panels which connect to the array using magnets.

The only downside to this product is the price. It starts at $148 for a 5W Solar Paper and goes up to $348 for the 15W version. Want more info? Head over to yolkstation.com and be sure to check Amazon where you can order a Solar Paper at a discounted price.
