Solar Charger Reviews: Monkeys, Gorillas and ... Kodak!

Using the sun's energy to power electrical devices seems like a pretty good idea to us. In fact, it seems like an ideal solution! But just how effective and reliable are solar devices? We'll be putting all kinds of solar-powered products to the test to find out whether or not they're worth the investment.

In this brand new section of the site, you'll find reviews of all kinds of devices that use solar panels to turn the sun's energy into electrical power. For the moment, most of the products we're testing tend to be portable solar panels designed for occasional charging or emergency power. However, we could well start testing larger solar panels or other types of solar device in the future.

To kick things off, we've tested two clamshell-style portable solar chargers from powertraveller, as well as Kodak's KS100-C.
