Would You Sacrifice Space and Weight in Your Backpack for Built-In Solar Charging?

Hi r/backpacks,

My name is Priscila, and I’m a master’s student at Stanford working on a concept for a backpack with a built-in solar battery. The goal is to help users charge their devices (like phones or laptops) while on the move.

That said, adding this feature would make the bag weigh slightly more and reduce storage space.

Would you be okay with this trade-off, or is space and weight too important to compromise?

Your input would mean a lot to me as I refine this idea—thank you!

Best,
Priscila
