    I LOVE my Voltaic!!!
    Posted by Sharon Accornero

    I need my computer for work and live on an Island full of surprises (hurricanes, earthquakes and economic crisis)… I LOVE this system! It’s perfect! I have a Microsoft Surface and I use my Voltaic System to charge it. It let me charge it at its full capacity while using the laptop and after that, I still got more power left. The system can charge in a couple of hours when is directly under the sun. I really love it and recommend it! Excellent quality!

    Arc Panel
    Posted by James

    Great set up. Used an old camera tripod as the base and turned through out the day in South Africa, Mongolia and SE Asia. The extension cable from panel to battery is a must. The panel is sturdy and well made with great light collecting abilities, the battery as well. The attachments and cables them selves are a little on the fragile side. This is somthing that could be improved on. With the use of the battery, the panel and a good charging schedule. I was able to charge lap top, camera batteries, iPads, phones and speakers. The USB bulb a bonus on certain days. All in all probably one of my most go to pieces of kit. Well done

    A great value for the modest price...
    Posted by Brian H

    I am extremely impressed with Voltaic's products and their customer service. I purchased the 20w solar charger kit and it has exceeded my expectations. A great value for the modest price. I had an issue with setting the system up because of the brand of laptop computer I had, and Voltaic's technician Gabe solved the problem very quickly for me. It works great and I look forward to purchasing more of this company's products in the future.

    Arc 20W solar laptop charger kit
    Posted by Steven Feld

    These are fantastic products and worked perfectly in a very remote rainforest setting in Papua New Guinea in 2018 when we first used 6 of them. They continue to serve the community well and they and we are happy to be bringing another 6 on our upcoming trip.

    Amazing - I recommend it to everyone!
    Posted by Galina

    I was searching for solar batteries and am so glad I did my research and found Voltaic gear before purchasing the 3-star rated batteries from REI! Just as others have said - I go backpacking with my camera gear wanting to make sure I always have all my stuff charged up and won't have the equipment crash halfway through. Post reading all the reviews on this site - I was sold! Not only is the customer service available (these guys very quickly and efficiently answered a few questions for me) but the battery is very well built! Some of my friends have commented on the fact that it is heavier than some of theirs - but the joke was on them when theirs stopped working halfway through the trip and I had to use mine to charge up all of our devices :) Rave about it to everyone I know!

    Perfect addition to my legacy Array backpack
    Posted by Chad

    I have owned voltaic systems products for years. The original array backpack with the V60 battey kept up very well until the V60 finally died. So I take a look at current offerings and see the Arc 20 with V88 battery. Quick research and I can connect my array to this system to have 30 watts peak. Setup a test on a picnic table. Works wonderfully. When on the go I keep the V88 connected the the array and the arc20 stays in the same back. Very easy to use. Thanks Voltaic.
