Solar Chargers Keep You Powered Up in the Great Outdoors

Solar Powered Charger Many people depend on their mobile phone or laptop. In fact, many people would go so far as to say they couldn’t live without them. But how do all these technophiles cope at a festival or camping holiday with no electricity source to charge their beloved gadgets? Well there’s now a solution in the form of solar-powered chargers.

Nowadays we use our mobile communication devices so regularly that they often need to be charged on a daily basis, which can be a problem if you’re unable to access a convenient electricity source. However, adaptations in technology now allow us to harness solar energy for charging your portable gadgets while out and about. So no more valuable festival time wasted trying to locate your tent because your phone died before you could call your friends!

Solar power is one of the best energy sources humankind has so far discovered; natural and inexhaustible, it uses the light and heat from the sun to produce power for electrical items with no by-products or emissions. Best of all, it’s completely free!

Portable solar chargers not only provide the energy to charge your phone at no cost to your pocket or the environment, but they can be used anywhere, no mains power required. Using a pocket-sized solar panel, the solar charger generates an electrical current when exposed directly to sunlight, which provides the power to charge the battery in your mobile device. One of the most popular types of solar charger is the Solarmonkey, which can connect to most types of mobile phone, as well as iPods, PDAs, PSPs and more.

“Just one problem” I hear you thinking; “What happens when the sun’s not out?” Well it seems those crafty Solarmonkeys have already anticipated this issue. Using a clever system that stores all the surplus energy which doesn’t make it into the battery first time around, it is then able to use this as a backup should Mr. Sunshine decide to take a break.

Your laptop can also explore the great outdoors without fear of losing power, thanks to the Solarmonkey’s big brother, Solargorilla. This guy is comprised of an extra-strength solar-powered charger designed to handle portable computers or sat navs, and is compatible with devices of up to 40 watts, but it can also be used for pretty much all the gadgets that the Solarmonkey can too.

A portable solar charger gives you the freedom to enjoy the great outdoors for as long as you want and stay powered up, all you need to worry about is whether you can get reception!
