A power supply for a portable computer or other electronic device of a type having an integral external housing within which the electronic components of the device are encased. The power supply comprises a mounting panel having a front surface and a back surface and side flanges disposed on the mounting panel to permit temporary attachment of the power supply to the housing of an electronic device. The back surface of the mounting panel faces toward the electronic device housing when the power supply is attached to the housing of the electronic device. At least one solar panel is attached to the mounting panel facing away from the electronic device when the power supply is attached to the housing of the electronic device. The solar panel is capable of producing an electrical power output through the conversion of solar energy to electrical energy. A brace is attached to the power supply for selectively positioning the power supply into an upright inclined position and for maintaining the power supply in the inclined position.
