Last year we reviewed the Eton Soulra and we're fans, now comes the Eton Soulra XL. The Eton Soulra XL has a beefier solar panel (a full 72 square inches), a built-in 2000mAh lithium ion battery, and 8 speaker drivers. The Soulra XL should fix our one complaint about the…
We like the idea of the corn based Samsung Reclaim M560 cell phone… but we love the idea of a cell phone with a huge solar panel on the back. It just makes sense. Why not use some of the cancer rays to charge your phone… right? The huge bummer…
“It looks like a house you’d order from Ikea. It sounds like a house designed by Apple. The I-House just might be the future — well, one future, anyway — of the housing market. Clayton Homes, based in Maryville, Tenn., is one of America’s largest manufacturers of mobile homes and…
For a solar charger to operate at peak efficiency, it always needs to be oriented towards the sun.

Oh the irony. GM is going to be installing the world’s largest rooftop solar system in its Zaragoza plant in Northern Spain. GM… the maker of gas guzzling and wasteful automobiles is out to save the planet with some solar. Granted it is a step in the right direction… but…
Enphase Energy is releasing a solar power system that has mini-inverters on each solar panel. This will allow the user to view performance on individual panels. Very cool. Now you don’t have to wonder which panel is under producing or failing. The inverter is typically a large gadget (looks like…
Far Niente, a Napa Valley winery, paid quite a bit of money for the first floating solar farm. The 1000 (plus another 1300 panels next to the pond) panels are floating on pontoons and provide about 4000 kilowatts of energy at peak. Seems wineries are very eco-conscious, or have tons…
