Solar Laptops

Posted on 12 July 2010

With the popularity of solar energy on the rise, most gears and gadgets have gone solar. One of the most popular device; the laptop is now gradually switching over to solar energy. This simply means that regular laptops will be charged with solar powered batteries through the use of a solar charger. This invention has created a whole new spectrum for laptop users as they are now able to carry their laptop anywhere they want, charge it at any time without much of a hassle.

To get a solar laptop, you need to strike a balance between power and portability. That is you have to understand the charger size for the laptop. For a 40W/h charging, comes a bigger sized solar panel, and for something lesser, comes a smaller solar panel. The solar panel is needed to connect to the charger so that solar energy can be transferred to electrical energy through the panel. This charges the battery according to the desired need.

There are different power cells and each have their own specific capabilities. A solar gadget with 3.7V/12000mAH battery and a 1W peak power.

There will a total of 44 hours charging time in the sun. The watt ranges from 10 to 30 and each of them gives different running time. A 30watt battery would give around 9 hours of work, while charging for 10 to 15 watt would give approx 3 hours of runtime.

The solar charger is highly compatible with laptops such as HP, ACER and SONY, but with DELL there seems to be a compatibility problem. When wanting to make your laptop go solar, make sure that it is compatible and have it professionally checked out. Make sure there are safety kits and that the devices are compatible. Do not risk doing things your own, as an accident could result in a complete blackout of your laptop.
