In recent years manufacturers are taking advantage of
the free energy provided by the sun, and making more and
more solar survival gear. Solar power provides an unlimited
source of energy and compact solar panels are being used in Radios,
Flashlights, lanterns and solar chargers for lots of different
equipment.
Utilizing solar survival equipment can be
advantagous for several reasons, first and foremost the need for
extra batteries is all but eliminated, and batteries =
weight. Batteries also equal
pollution, so if that's something that is a concern of yours, Solar
is a good clean power source. Another attractive and obvious
reason for using some solar survival equipment, or at least
trying it out; its free energy, and free energy is good, especially
these days with energy costs soaring.
Solar powered flashlights and Radios are the most common gear
that comes with the photovoltaic cell or cells built into the unit,
but with solar chargers now available for most small electronics,
you can utilize solar power and rechargeable batteries for handheld
gps units, mp3 players, FRS and GMRS radios, and just about any
other small electronic device you can think of. Here are some
of our favorite solar survival products: |
