In just 1 hour the amount of energy that falls upon the earth from the sun equals the amount used by the world's population in a whole year, so why not make use of some of that?

Whilst browsing the internet I came across the Solio Universal Solar Charger a device that allows travellers to benefit from free electricity for all their gadgets: mobile phone, iPod or MP3 Player, GPS, Digital Camera, Laptop etc. As someone who is concerned about the environment, the idea of a solar charger is quite appealing as is the idea of carrying around just one charger for all my electrical devices. Solio's Interchangeable Tip System allows for connection to almost any portable electrical appliance and does away with messy leads, in fact there is no need to take any of the array of chargers that would normally be needed for all your devices, leaving valuable space for other items. There is even an electrical socket adaptor for those days when the sun remains hidden.

The charger is available in black, white, pink and silver and when it is folded up, it fits very nicely into the palm of ones hand; about the same size as a mobile phone. The Solio works by by absorbing the sun's energy through three solar panels and can be propped up easily to point towards the strongest sunlight.
