Naa, I very much doubt that. Unless you buy the very lame cheap-china-production, as usually found on eBay, a solar charger would do just fine. However, I would recommend using a solar charger with attached battery, so you can charge whatever device from that. (I did not look for a certain device to display, but I think you get the point.)

As for the power from the sun, a good sunny day delivers approximately 1.000 watts per meter², so you can do the maths on what panel you need

[EDIT]
Oh, i forgot: You are not used to a sunny day in the UK, are you?

Sorry, I just could not drop that one
