Solio Portable Solar Power Charger
By SolarPromoter - 03.12.2007
Today, I received a Solio portable hybrid Solar Power Charger. It can charge many different mobile devices using either Solar Power or you can charge the Solo battery, and later on when your device (camera, cell phone or game device) needs a charge, you can charge it off the Solio.
I have just received this product today, and plan to test it out in a number of situations over the next several weeks. I will primarily be testing this solar charger with my Treo 700 P (on Verizon’s service for what its worth).
My 700P is not very good at holding a charge itself, so having a back up charge available is definitely something that I am interested in. Plus, I am interested in the solar charging capability for those situations when I am on the go, outdoors on the lake, or just wanting to use greener energy alternatives.
New Solar Gold Mine Review Section
In addition to everything else, I plan to cover my reviews in a section entirely dedicated to reviewing and testing solar related products, concepts and options. I’ll offer up more on this later as I update the web layout for these reviews, but it will be easily accessible here on the front of the site.
My cell phone, cameras, and home will be the likely items tested with these products. Although if I could get such a power source for my laptop that would be very cool. I suspect with spinning hard drives, it probably isn’t terribly practical. Maybe someday I’ll upgrade to one of those Dell memory hard drives that are all flash made by Samsung.

I just got a 12V panel from a seller on eBay. Still need to blog about it, though, but do let us all know how yours works out!
