Laptop Solar Charger

Solar power has historically been viewed as involving monstrously large panel systems on roofs or in a field somewhere. How times have changed. The technology behind solar cells has evolved like mad and continues to do so as escalating energy prices force people to look elsewhere. Throw in a much more mature view towards environmental issues and you have a bevy of solar energy gadgets coming out.

Solar chargers for laptops are one of the gadgets that have started appearing with the new focus on solar energy. Unlike traditional panel systems, solar chargers are small, flexible and designed to be user friendly. The cells come in amorphous and silicon based panels. Silicon panels are the way to go as they are far more efficient at converting sunlight into electricity. Amorphous solar cells are fairly new and about half as effective.

Solar chargers are surprisingly stylish. Typically, the cells are built into a case similar to the portable compact disc holders you see all over the place. When you need to recharge your system, you simply open up the panels and lay them in the sun. Most come with lengthy cords so you don’t roast in the sun while the laptop solar charger does its thing.

Solar chargers are designed to work with power sources, not laptops. This means that practically every solar charger should work with every laptop. It doesn’t matter if you have a particular brand.

One of the biggest gripes about laptops has always been the need to charge them up. With a laptop solar charger, you are no longer a hostage of your power needs.
