1. A portable electronic device, comprising:
- an input DC power source;
a DC/DC voltage converter for converting the input power;
a battery for storing the converted DC voltage;
a DC/AC voltage converter; and
an AC voltage outlet; and
a plurality of solar panels for collecting solar radiation and converting it to become the source of the DC voltage; and
a base for housing for foregoing components where the base has a first half and a second half hinged to fold the first and second halves into a closed and open position such that in the open position the solar panels are exposed and in the closed position the solar panels are not exposed in the manner of a suitcase,wherein the device converts solar radiation into AC power directly, without the aid of the battery, regardless of whether the battery is fully charged for storing electricity.
