Solio Portable Solar Charger

The Solio Solar Charger makes a great solar gift idea

Second on our list of top 5 solar gift ideas for 2010 is the Solio Portable Charger.  We originally reviewed this product in 2008, and it still fits the bill.  In fact, in the past 2 years, more and more solar chargers have entered the market.  There are even cell phones with tiny solar panels built right in.

But with the Solio Portable Charger, you can use it to recharge your cell phone, mP3 player, video camera, portable gaming systems and any other small electronic device.  The design is cool too – small solar panels fan out for exposure to UV light.  Solar energy collected is stored in a battery for future use.  When it comes to portable solar chargers, this is one of the best!

And you’re in luck if you are on a holiday shopping budget.  The Solio portable charger has dropped in price recently.  Now, its only $59.99 (down $20 from 2 years ago!)  You can order one online at www.solio.com.

    “There are two kinds of solar-heat systems: ‘passive’ systems collect the sunlight that hits your home, and ‘active’ systems collect the sunlight that hits your neighbors’ homes, too.”
