Tuesday, July 16, 2013: If you are on a lookout for a portable solar generator that can help you keep your electronic goods charged, here comes SunSocket – a compact, portable solar generator that makes sure that it always gets adequate light by chasing the Sun like a pro. The SunSocket is the new breed of solar charging station that can track the Sun and ensure that sufficient light falls on its panels. One of the most impressive features is that it comes in a suitcase sized box that can be taken anywhere.
The SunSocket boasts of a high efficiency 60 W array of solar panels that slide to develop the total light trap area. These panels can follow the Sun and arrange in a manner to convert as much solar energy into useful electrical energy by storing it in the 250 Wh battery, which is sufficient to power your TV, laptops, smartphones and tablets. In fact, any home appliance that pulls below 100 Watts can run on this unit.
The surrounding case of the socket features 4 easy-to-access USB ports, a 12V DC cigarette lighter socket, an international 115/220 V AC output. Though it is not clear how much power the system consumes to function but one can be sure that the engineers who manufactured SunSocket would have kept it to the minimum.
The only flip side is its cost! The system costs $1499. Still interested?
