During a power outage, people turn to power banks and generators to power essentials, such as cell phones. But these devices’ charge also quickly runs out. To prevent the chaos, people are now looking to solar chargers, whose power supply is inexhaustible.
Power outages are becoming increasingly common, not only in Latin America but around the world. The most recent event, which occurred in April in Spain, Portugal, and France, is driving the search for alternatives to keep basic services running during such events, and the most long-lasting option is electric chargers.
Considering that the charging source in this case is the sun, the use of solar charging devices is emerging as the best option for cell phones, personal computers, and other devices with moderate electricity demands.
When purchasing a solar charger, experts recommend paying attention to factors such as compatibility with the voltage and current of the devices it will be used with, the output power (watts), the internal battery capacity, solar charging time, and the availability of multiple output ports and an LED charging indicator.
The efficiency of the electrical panel is essential, so it is recommended to purchase high-performance ones (more than 20 %) and with excellent conversion of sunlight into electricity, especially those made of monocrystalline silicon.
