First look:

All your modern technological gears can be recharged by using solar energy. This will help in reduction of your monthly electricity bills. This will also demonstrate that you want to contribute towards saving the earth environment and if you brag about using the changer solar charging system, you might receive a reward as well.

Solar Charger

What's new:

This solar charger kit includes a solar battery named Kalhuohfummi and a Maroshi solar module. These two systems work in tandem with each other and the solar panel is able to deliver upto 4 watts of power per hour when there are ideal sun bath conditions. The battery takes 4 hours for recharging. Any USB friendly device can then be charged by using the Kalhuohfummi battery and the juice in the battery is enough for topping off an iPhone twice.

What's been refreshed:

The quantity of power that the solar charger has generated can be easily tracked by the battery module, which can also calculate the carbon dioxide emission amounts that have been reduced by you. This can be shared on the changer's website. You can also tweet the process to other followers. The praise and adulation that comes along are not the only rewards you earn. The Changers credit, which increase with the amount of energy you produce by using the Maroshi solar module, can also be earned. These exchangers credit can be redeemed for getting the perks.
