Solar power isn’t new, its been around since the start of civilisation meeting basic human needs such as drying food, heating water, baking bricks and lighting houses.

Today more and more people are making use of solar power in and around their home, saving money and energy at the same time. Introducing solar power doesn’t mean having to cover your roof in solar panels, a lot of people are simply opting for solar powered devices that would otherwise rely on electricty.

Solar powered appliances are becoming more popular and readily available, one example of this is the introduction of the Solar DAB Radio from Roberts.

DAB Radio’s offer more choice, improved sound quality, extra information on broadcasts such as song title, artist, news and weather, and there’s no re-tuning required when moving the radio from room to room.

The Roberts Solar Powered DAB Radio allows you to tune 10 of your favourite radio stations and subsequently access them by the touch of a button. The Radio isn’t completely reliable on solar power and can be operated from either the mains or from batteries. The built-in battery charger means it will charge itself during the day, allowing you to play it during the night.

We no longer have to be tethered to the power lines.
