GreenTech: Sola Unagi is a solar power generator in a briefcase

Sola Unagi

If the $25,000 Powercube 600 we showed you yesterday is out of your price range, perhaps the Sola Unagi briefcase solar power generator will fit your budget better. This briefcase-sized (and shaped) solar power generator can be yours for about $1150, with discounts if you buy in bulk. It's also much lighter than the 1 ton Powercube, at just 10 kilograms.

While the Powercube can pump up to 3500 Watts of electricity to power pretty much everything in your house, the Sola Unagi is a bit more modest, with a 400 Watt output capacity. But that's enough juice to power a laptop for up to 6 hours, a small refrigerator for up to 4 hours, or a lighting system for over 10 hours.

The Sola Unagi is designed by Fuji Africa for use in parts of Africa where electricity isn't always available, and the company is targeting it toward doctors, field researchers, universities, farmers, shop owners, and soldiers who might need a reliable source of electricity.
