About the people behind 5v Solar
Hello! We are the Laufer family, and we thank you for visiting our store.
The creation of 5vSolar.com has evolved over the years in our family, and it started from an unlikely source: birds. Our oldest son, who is now 12, has always loved nature and all things outdoors. Several years ago, he became interested in birds, and would watch nest-cam videos of various birds, especially puffins. (As a side note, you should watch them sometime. They’re really cute!) Anyhow, we got to thinking how cool it would be to have a bird-box or birdhouse with a video camera inside to record and stream the birds activity from our own backyard. We set out to start a business, started making some sample bird-boxes, and then had to work out how to power the cameras inside them. Being technical folks (a science teacher and a registered nurse), we began researching and designing solar panels and power banks to power our bird-box cameras. We quickly realized this rugged and lightweight power technology could be used in many other applications to cure the dreaded dead phone battery, including integrating them into bags. And thus, the idea for 5VSolar came about.
Our family is excited to provide you with an innovative line of solar based charging options and an impeccable online shopping experience. We are dedicated to an honest and clean online customer experience. We offer free shipping because nobody likes surprises at checkout. We offer 100 day free return shipping because no matter how well we try to describe our products and how many pictures we include there is nothing like having it in your hands.
As a family and a small company of active outdoors loving people, we are dedicated to being respectful to our community and our environment. We designed our products and packaging to minimize waste and utilize eco-friendly and recyclable packaging. We further back this commitment by partnering with Trees for the Future to plant three trees for each product sold. Trees for the Future is working to end hunger and poverty for small holder farmers through revitalizing degraded lands by planting forest gardens. It is really incredible work, check them out.
If you have questions, comments or concerns about your order or the content found within this website, please feel free to contact us via email and one of us will get back to you right away. Again, thanks for visiting our store and we look forward to serving you in the future.
Regards,
Rebecca, Bill, and the rest of the Laufer family
