Developments in solar technology have now put solar power within the reach of everyone. Until a few years ago, solar panels were relatively bulky, inefficient, and rather heavy to lug around and, on top of all this, very expensive. In other words, not very practical for the average person.
Solar Power and solar technology have advanced rapidly in the last few years. It and has come to the point where the use of solar energy is within the reach of the average person.
You can now buy relatively inexpensive lightweight portable solar panels (or portable solar chargers, as they are sometimes called) that will recharge your cell phone, iPod, MP3 player, or any from a host of other small electronic devices. There are even some medium size portable solar chargers that allow you to recharge your laptop batteries. And some even will run your laptop.
In effect, you could move your office to the beach if you wanted to, set up a portable solar panel and power your laptop with solar energy right at the beach. Your boss might however disagree, and, in any case you might want to make sure that your laptop screen is not overly reflective.
