New portable solar panels have hit the market and are enabling people to generate clean energy on the move.

Link Solar says its new portable panel technology is lightweight, compact, flexible and easy to use.

The firm says they can be used to replace diesel generators at campsites, offering equipment in different sizes, weights and voltage, with power options ranging from 6.5 watts all the way to 200 watts.

Link Solar suggests the technology can be used for a wide range of applications, inlcuding camping tents, vehicles and solar roofs, among others.

A German start-up has launched a series of trials to test its new solar-powered car.
