I’m doing research on portable solar equipment, and there are a lot of companies out there that I’ve found. Anyone have any ideas as to what brands will hold up for long periods of hiking and driving? It would need to be able to power batteries for laptops, camcorders, and probably some smaller equipment like cell phones, iPods, etc.

I mean, it’s the hottest place on earth, so one would assume it would be prime area for solar energy methods no?
The equator isn’t the hottest place on earth, it just gets the most direct sunlight at the top of the atmosphere. Near-tropical desert areas are hotter and get more sun at ground level due to less cloud cover. In addition, there are the questions of local demand for energy and local economic surplus to build solar power installations. There are some solar power installations in equatorial countries.
My house is approximately 2,500 sq ft and we use about 1800-2500 kWh/month. I live in a very sunny area and I am thinking about installing solar panels for water heating and electricity. I am just researching estimates, I am not ready to contact a dealer or contractor yet, but I really have no idea where to start. Any informative sites or answers would be greatly appreciated.
The link below is to an estimation program. You have all the information you need for it to estimate for you. It is quite accurate. The estimation program works for both solar electric and solar hot water.
This is probably one of the very best sites for finding a qualified solar installer as well.
The second link is a great site for learning more about all types of alternative energy technologies.
I installed solar on my house 4 years ago and it is great. It saves me about $1200 per year on my electricity. You have about twice the total draw of my house (and I thought mine was an energy hog 
. One thing you may want to look at hard is whether you can save some energy by replacing wasteful appliances before you install solar. If you can it will very easily pay to do so. If your house is electrically heated if you can switch to gas that will save you a bunch of money and greatly reduce your electrical usage.
Product DescriptionThe perfect source for solar power—fully illustrated.
