CPU Monkey’s Cool Gadget Collection #4: Camping & Solar Energy Chargers

 SOLAR CHARGER

  We asked Our Favorite friend CPU Monkey to check the Worldwide Market for Solar Charging Devices.

  The Task has two different solutions.

  1.) Unbuffered, Solar Powering Device:

  This means the charged devices can use the solar power if they are exposed direct sunlight:

  2.) Battery Bank Buffered Solar Powering Device:

  This means the sunlight power will charge the power Bank built-in battery pack when there is direct sunlight available.

  Any of these devices incorporate and MPPT feature, for optimal power extraction.

  Let’s see CPU Monkey’s finds:
