Solar Power can Set your Gadgets Free! by Eric Slarkowski

Everything nowadays has a computer in it, even my car apparently has a computer that tells it... well something. Another thing most things seem to have are batteries. Batteries are horrible little things that provide power for phones, PDA's, MP3 players and other devices that I can't be bothered to mention! The actual electrical equipment is quite advanced the batteries however are another story! Batteries do not last forever. And as we all know "Energy cannot be created or destroyed", so they must be recharged on a regular basis.
Many Cell Phones come bundled with chargers that plug into your cars cigarette lighter socket, which does make them a little more convenient. However if you're not at home or in the car you're a little stuck really, well that's until now! Have you ever considered solar power to charge your devices?
Solar power is nothing new in fact the military have been using it for quite a number of years in order to charge radios and other electronic gadgetry. Solar cells output electricity at 12 volts which makes it ideal for a number of battery run gadgets. Solar panels are fairly light, and mean that the troops don't have to carry spare batteries in order to make sure the device keeps working. hurricane windows replacement tips
Solar panels are also ideal for hikers and campers. Most of these hobbies require going away from civilisation, which also means going away from power supplies! Your phone always goes dead when you really need it, so why not make sure it doesn't by packing a set of solar chargers. Just fold the panels out and aim them at the sun to get the most power.
The Power of the Sun at night?!
You can store the power generated by your solar panels in a battery which can then be used at night to power lighting. A small solar panel is unlikely to provide you with enough power to run appliances off directly, it can be used to charge batteries.
You can link several solar panels together in order to generate more power. However this would also make the system much less portable as it could be very difficult to transport. Many panels come in a protective carrying package, and they are normally very light which means you probably won't notice them.
If you always take loads of spare batteries everywhere you go then perhaps you should consider portable solar systems, they really are an appealing choice! Getting power for nothing is a very rewarding experience!
