Solar Powered Homes
Reviewed: 11th November 2008
With the recent introduction of plug-n-play solar chargers and an increase in the number of solar power household applicances, it is now a viable source of every within the reach of just about anyone. You no longer have to be a tech savvy electrician in order to harness free solar energy, nor do you have to cover your house in solar panels.
Solar chargers are simply a solar panel combined with a battery pack, which is sold as a unit. The solar unit is capable of collecting solar energy, not only from sunshine but even on cloudy days, and storing it in a battery for later use.
This setup allows you to power or recharge your electrical devices, laptops, power tools, DAB radios or even lights, from the battery pack free of charge and without contributing to any adverse climate changes. These environmentally kind products are a simple plug and play solution meaning you don’t have to worry about compatibility, cables, watts or voltages.
Instead of powering your equipment from a direct source, you ensure that you have a steady flow of power or electricity flowing into your equipment that has been generated in an eco friendly way. Even on a sunny day there will always be some clouds, especially with the UK weather. Solar panels are now more advance and can make use of light conditions, not just sun.
The fact that the solar panels charge the battery pack, you will be able to make use of solar energy at any time, night or day, regardless of weather conditions or available sunlight. You simply make sure the solar charger is charging during daylight hours.
Many people think solar panels and solar chargers only work in hot climates. This is a myth that has put a lot of people off introducing solar power into their homes. Solar panels collect solar energy far more efficiently when they are cold, and therefore operate more efficiently in colder temperatures. This fact makes them perfectly suitable for just about any climate. All you need is daylight.
