Abstract
A solar charging system for a portable electronic device includes an electrical connector adapted to be removably coupled to an electrical interface of the portable electronic device. A rechargeable battery is electrically coupled to the electrical connector, and the rechargeable battery is adapted to store a stored electrical power. A solar panel is electrically coupled to the rechargeable battery such that the received electrical power is stored in the rechargeable battery as stored electrical power. When the electrical connector is electrically coupled to the electrical interface of the installed portable electronic device, stored electrical power is provided or conveyed to the portable electronic device. When the electrical connector is not electrically coupled to the electrical interface of the installed portable electronic device, the received electrical power is stored in the rechargeable battery as stored electrical power.
