Solar energy for all

Sometimes new technology can be intimidating.  Where to start? Do I need to install solar panels on the roof?  Well if you want to yes, but you can also invest in simple solar technology to cut energy use.

solarFirst a brief overview of the technology.

What is solar power?

Solar power is the process of using the light from sun and turning it into an energy source. It has become a reliable alternative to regular power sources in remote areas. It has even been used in outer space.

Solar power is used in homes, lighting, architectural projects, and cooking. It has become even more popular as the cost of fossil fuel continues to rise.

Solio, the Universal "Hybrid" Charger, is powerful enough to charge all of your handheld electronic products at home or on the move, anywhere under the sun. Solio is a Hybrid because it can accept power from either the sun or the wall, storing this energy within Solio's internal rechargeable battery. Solio then uses this energy to power your gadgets at the same rate as your wall adapter. Solio also will hold its charge for up to a year.
