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.
First 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.
What can you do to reduce your energy consumption with solar, well
consider the products and solution below:
The XPower Powerpack Solar is the first portable power pack that
incorporates solar power in a compact, portable power source. It’s completely
self-renewing, which means the detachable 5-watt solar panel has the ability to
recharge the power pack’s 10 amp-hour battery.

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.
