PowerFilm integrated solar panels (thin film on plastic) are developed and manufactured with a proprietary roll process and they are truly rollable unlike other thin film technologies that are only somewhat flexible. PowerFilm solar panels are all monolithically integrated which eliminates the need for damage-prone manual connections of individual solar cells. PowerFilm is made of silicon, a natural resource in abundant supply. PowerFilm is Cadmium Free, unlike some other solar technologies, and performs well in diverse environments, including hot sun, and does not suffer from wasted over-voltage.

This would be a pretty niffy device to have on hand while venturing into the woods.  You will never need to worry about your two-way radios becoming just added weight with dead batteries. Just use Ni-MH rechargeable batteries and your Eton FR1000 can double as a battery charger. If they added solar as another means of recharging, that would make it an ultimate survival device (plus replace all plastic with carbon fiber and or titanium but that might be asking too much).

Features:

• 22 GMRS (General Mobile Radio System)/FRS (Family Radio System) channels
• 121 privacy codes (38 CTCSS / 83 DCS)
• AM/FM receiver
• VOX (Voice operated transmission)
• NOAA weather radio and NOAA weather alert
• Siren and LED Flashlight
• Can be powered from four different sources:
  • Rechargeable Ni-MH battery
  • Dynamo hand crank
  • 4 “AA” batteries
  • AC Adapter
• Cell-phone charging jack (need to get adapter from manufacturer after you register)
