The Philippines is a pretty sunny country - the sun shines for the most part of the year. And it would be really good to have solar chargers making their way to this country. Not only would such help the environment but it would also help the people of the country save much on energy bills.

One of the newest solar chargers that have made its way to this Asian country is the GreenMobile Solar Chargers and this one has been created by Tritec Integrated Philippines Inc. It comes with lithium batteries and has been given solar cells. Any gadget that needs charging could be easily given juice by just connecting it to the charger via a USB cable.

Tristan San Buenaventura is the head of Tritec and on this, he shared, “Our solar chargers dramatically reduce energy cost of gadget users because they don’t have to spend any or just need to spend less because it does not directly consume current.”

There is already quite a number of solar chargers available in the market right now. With the number of such chargers available, you might have a hard time choosing one for yourself. That is why it is good to take a look at specs and see which one is going to work well for you and for what you need it for.

This new one that I had found recently is the iPower SX which has been created by Battech. According to the specs that come with this solar charger, it has a far more sophisticated battery in the sense that the standard solar charger’s battery is at 1800 mAh. iPower SX’s is a 2200 mAh. So this means that you can give more juice to your portable gadgets.

Now most solar chargers would not tell you just how much juice is left in the battery. However, the iPower SX tells you how much you get left. That way, you would be warned if you need to give it more power. Neat.

Yes, I am talking about a solar air heater, a gadget that has been designed to use the power of the sun to help heat a room. And you should probably be needing one right now that the cold season has just declared its presence.

There are a lot of solar air heaters available in the market. However, it would be even better if you had built your own solar air heater like how this site has offered suggestions on how you can create your own one.

For most solar air heaters, what happens is that the sun’s power is used to heat the air that goes through some sort of pipe. That heated air is then sent to the room while a new batch of ‘unheated’ air goes into that pipe for some heating.

It is that simple and so that means creating your very own solar air heater would be also easy. That means less expenses and a happy earth.
