+We used a small solar panel, 25 x 35 cm (wattage unknown!) to recharge our batteries: phones, GoProcamera, SLR, AA batteries, etc. We found that the Inca charger (will find link) worked really well and enabled us to charge all these things easily.
+We also used small rechargable lights / USB chargers (link to follow) which were great in the evening as the light ws diffuse and they could also be used to "shock-charge" a USB powered device to bring it back to life.
