Here’s the perfect carry-all solution if you’re headed back to school but just don’t want summer to end- the Juice solar tote from Reware is big enough for your new textbooks, but beach ready for your last few Indian summer adventures. These durable bags can “re-juice” smaller electronics such as cell phones, BlackBerry, PDA, MP3 player or handheld GPS. And even better, they’re made from biodegradable canvas, and the panel itself can be removed and use separately from the bag.

While we have yet to find a solar-powered bag to fully juice a laptop, this tote certainly delivers enough power to recharge your cell phone, iPod, or other small electronics in about the same time as a traditional wall socket. Weighing in with a power rating of 6.3 Watts and 16.6 Volts, you’ll be glad to have such power on your shoulder the next time your cell phone dies on your way to class. Travel to class in style and soak up the sun in green style!
