How to turn an ordinary bag into a solar sensation

solar bag.jpg

If you've dreamed of owning a Voltaic solar bag but can't afford the price tag, fear not: it's amazingly simple to make your own. All you'll need is one of Freeloader's fantastically flexible new 'supercharger' solar panels (£19.99 at Maplin), a spare freeloader battery, a mini USB cable, a relevant gadget adaptor and an old rucksack, bicycle pannier or bag of your choice. The total cost is £40; less than half that of the cheapest Voltaic backpack!

Full instructions are available here.
