1. A portable, solar energy charger, comprising:

  • a plurality of panels, each panel containing at least one solar cell for generating electrical energy responsive to solar energy, each of the plurality of panels interconnected to enable the plurality of panels to be folded on top of each other in a single stack in a closed configuration and to be unfolded to receive sunlight in an open configuration;

    a connector for connecting each of the plurality of panels to at least one other panel of the plurality of panels, the connector providing both a mechanical connection and an electrical connection between panels, the connector enabling a first panel to be folded on top of a second panel and protect the at least one solar cells on the first panel and the second panel between the first panel and the second panel;

    a securing mechanism for maintaining the plurality of panels together in the closed configuration when the panel are folded on each other; and

    power circuitry for receiving the electrical energy from the plurality of panel and providing an electrical power output.
