We offer a full line of Solar recharging panels for your every need. Choose the solar panel of your choice and then checkout the accessories that correspond with each of the panels. These solar panels can be rolled or folded!
Solar energy is the radiant light and heat from the Sun that has been harnessed by humans since ancient times using a range of ever-evolving technologies. Solar radiation along with secondary solar resources such as wind and wave power, hydroelectricity and biomass account for most of the available renewable energy on Earth. Only a minuscule fraction of the available solar energy is used.
Solar power provides electrical generation by means of heat engines or photovoltaics. Once converted, its uses are limited only by human ingenuity. A partial list of solar applications includes space heating and cooling through solar architecture, potable water via distillation and disinfection, daylighting, hot water, thermal energy for cooking, and high temperature process heat for industrial purposes.
Solar technologies are broadly characterized as either passive solar or active solar depending on the way they capture, convert and distribute sunlight. Active solar techniques include the use of photovoltaic panels and solar thermal collectors (with electrical or mechanical equipment) to convert sunlight into useful outputs. Passive solar techniques include orienting a building to the Sun, selecting materials with favorable thermal mass or light dispersing properties, and designing spaces that naturally circulate air.

LED Lights that Fit in your wallet
Pretty soon, you may be lighting up your office or home with a flat, credit-card sized LED light. Oree, an Israeli start-up, recently received $4 million in funding from Silicon Valley Bank and Kreos Capital to work on driving down the cost of LED lighting.

Nitride phosphor from Philips Lumileds closes yellow LED gap
Philips Lumileds researchers have developed a monochromatic nitride diode that closes the yellow light LED gap. The phosphor-converted (PC) amber LED demonstrated by Regina Mueller-Mach and her colleagues uses the down-conversion of blue light from an indium-gallium-nitride (InGaN) LED to longer-wavelength light by a phosphor
-
Refrigerator
Keep your head out of the refrigerator and the door closed! The refrigerator is the single biggest energy-consuming kitchen appliance, and opening the refrigerator door accounts for between $30 and $60 of a typical family’s electricity bill each year
-
Preheating
If you’re boiling, roasting, or baking a dish that will cook for an hour or more, don’t bother preheating your oven. Even for breads and cakes, never preheat for longer than ten minutes. If you reduce the amount of time your oven is on by one hour per year, you’ss save an average of two kilowatt-hours of energy
-
Storage Containers
Instead of using plastic, store your food in glass or porcelain containers. Fewer chemicals will likely leach from the container into the food. Chemicals that transfer from plastic to food and from food to body may cause health risks.
-
Composting
If, over the course of a year, everyone in the US composted their kitchen scaps instead of sending them away in the trash, the organic waste diverted from landfills could make a three-foot high compost pile to cover the city of San Francisco.

-
Food Waste
If you could reduce the amount of food wasted in your household by just twenty-five grams per day (about the weight of a slice of bread), you'd save twenty pounds of food annually - roughly enough to make 16 meals.
-
Garbage Disposal
Use cold water when you run your garbage disposal. Better yet, try not to use it at all by composting your food waste or disposing of it in the trash.
-
Junk Mail
Rid yourself of Junk mail – or at least recycle it. The average U.S. household receives 1.5 trees’ worth of junk mail each year, and many of these are thrown right into the trash.
