Human: I'm looking to buy an alternative energy charger for when I'm in the backcountry, but there are a lot of different choices, from solar panels to other other devices that get energy from things like rivers and currents.

Assistant: This is an area that’s really expanding quickly, and there are a ton of options!  You know, there are basically two main kinds of technology for energy in the backcountry, “grid-free” energy and energy storage.  Grid-free is electricity you make with things like solar panels.  Energy storage is like batteries, but some people use water or air instead of batteries.

Assistant: It sounds like what you’re really looking for is a source of renewable energy. What do you think about solar panels? They’re powered by the energy of the sun, so they’re renewable, and a lot of people find them easy to set up.
