Well, not all. Yup. Not all radios are already powered by solar energy. But there are already a breed of radios which use solar power as juice so they could be able to do their function well.
In the United Kingdom, a report has disclosed that the Roberts company has come up with what is apparently the very first DAB radio which uses solar power to run. Who would think that after all the hullabaloo about solar power, radios would be somewhere behind the list?
Anyhow, this solar radio is known as the “solarDAB”. Built in it are panels that absorb the sun’s UV rays and convert them into usable energy. The panels can be found on top of the whole radio. There is also a small display you can see on the radio which tells you just how much juice the radio still has.
Oh yeah. Did I already mention that the solarDAB comes in retro designs and colors? Yep. The future of solar power definitely looks as bright as the solarDAB.
