YosemiteOutside, a backpacker blog has detailed step-by-step instruction on how to build a Solar iPod Charger.

I looked everywhere for a lightweight solar iPod charger. Nothing fancy, just something I could attach to the top of my backpack. I couldn’t find one anywhere, I couldn’t even find instructions on how to build one. So, I set about building one for myself. As this was all about getting very light materials, this set-up is very simple but the charger has no protection from branches, rain, or marmots.

This is a project for those handy with a soldering iron and it is estimated to cost about $30. Learn from the instructions here.
