Consumer Solar Products

     Solar powered goods have now extended past using solar power for electricity or solar radiance. Solar power can now be found in every day goods, reaching as far as what you wear, the bags you carry, and even being found during cozy nights out in your garden.

     • Solar Clothing- Clothing is new on the solar market, but is quickly becoming a hot commodity. Ultra thin solar cells attached to the fabric of your clothes give you the ability to charge your cell phones, your iPod and more. However, to gather enough solar energy, it is necessary to spend two to three hours in the sun. Solar powered jackets are also possible under the consumer solar products banner. The solar panels on this product are found on the arms. You can carry a backpack without interrupting your solar collection. Solar hats have also hit the market. The hats can power a small fan residing on your person.

     • Solar Hand Bags and Laptop Bags- Hand bags and Laptop bags are an even newer product on the market. They bring energy and power with them everywhere you go. Many of the bags come with chargers inside. The bag harnesses and stores the energy, allowing it to be available to the user later. This means that if you’re out and about, need a light, a cell phone charge, or a laptop charge, you will never be out of luck.

     • Solar Umbrellas- Umbrellas are most often of the patio variety. The umbrella protects the users from the sun all day, while also collecting the energy. The umbrella then converts that energy into free electricity and light that can be used all night long. The LEDs are said to charge for 200,000 hours.

     • Solar Roof Tiles- Solar roof tiles may also be referred to as solar shingles. Instead of placing large panels on your roof, possibly lofting them at an angle, or placing them free-standing in yards or gardens, it is possible to use sleek, indistinctive solar tiles. While they may look just like normal black roof tiles, they are actually covered with a thin film of photovoltaic material which generates electricity and can be used for the energy for all household appliances.

     • Solar Garden Lights- There are many different types of solar garden lights. They are all easy to install, and require wires. In fact, the stake solar garden light requires all of fifteen seconds. This time includes finding an adequate sunny spot and simply inserting the stake into the ground. There are other types of lights as well, such as walk way stones, which easily light the way for late night walks, and solar garden light stones for a pond. There are more decorative lights such as colored solar lights, hand-blow glass solar garden lights, and decorative flower shape lights. These lights can be used to add mysticism to the area, to generate focus to an area, or to distract.
