Convert Daylight into Electricity with Portable Solar Chargers

A mobile solar charger can be used to charge a cell phone, iPod, iPhone and other gadgets on the go quickly by harnessing the power of sun. Portable solar chargers can be used for a variety of applications such as battery back-up power systems, compact solar lighting, DC lighting systems, and even briefcase and back pack solar generators.

Solar energy technology in recent years has transformed solar panel efficiency that is now stronger in output and smaller in size than ever before. Battery systems utilized in hand held and portable devices has also become lighter and smaller in power requirement thus enabling light weight, cost efficient solar portable power systems. Mobile Solar Chargers are termed  “hybrid” because their on board batteries can be charged either by the sun or electricity from a wall socket.
