Solar gorilla works with two photovoltaic solar panels that produce power when they are exposed to light. The two solar panels that generate the electric current are made of glass to greatly increase the performance plus it adds to the aesthetics of the unit. To indicate the strength of the current charge, there is a green LED on theSolarGorilla. The charge will be more intense when there is more light; it will work better.

There is both bad news and great news if you are a Macbook Pro, Macbook Air, or Macbook user. Bad news: the Apple MagSafe Airline Adaptor, regrettably, is one item that we found was not included from the manufacture. When purchased separately, costs around $60. Great news: to increase compatibility for an easy connection for Macs there are dealers that add the Magsafe Airline Adaptor in for FREE/at no extra charge!
