There are a LOT of usb power with LiPo or LiIon solutions out there, one
of which I saw that was solar powered and capable of driving 2.1A out of
the 5V USB power.  So yeah, shop around and see what you can get.  Many
are under $20, and apparently under $10.  Some charge from a car OR AC
adaptor, some require a USB power adaptor to charge them (and then
they'll supply power for other things up to battery capacity).  But
yeah, off-the-shelf solutions exist.

Check out what's at adafruit.com as one example.  [I won't link to
specific products there, they just have a lot of RPi stuff and LiPo
stuff and solar stuff and good quality DC power supplies for things
_LIKE_ the RPi or Arduino, etc. etc. - a candy store]
