We’ve got everything here– modern and traditional architecture, large and tiny homes, from all over the U.S. and even Europe. They’re all proof that, besides making you look like a good environmental citizen, home solar panels can actually add to the beauty (and value) of your home.
…3 Malibu 5 Modern Beach House, Kanner ArchitectsThis home is a good example of the fact that solar panels don’t necessarily have to be visible. The roof holds both home solar panels (PV) and solar hot water collectors. Set into a hillside in Malibu, California, the house has several other environmentally-friendly features: it’s made from green and recycled materials, and is designed to naturally heat and cool itself. Windows let in natural light and breezes. The house uses so little power that it contributes energy to the grid. Image: Kanner Architects….

Solar Power On The Go
…In the early days of solar power there were huge installations necessary to make use of this energy source. The solar panels that were needed were larger than the average full grown man. This made the collection of solar power a bit of a challenge. Therefore making use of solar power was not suitable of everyone. It was expensive and a bit of a chore as well.
These huge solar panels still exist in solar power plants, which produce energy for certain parts of the world. But over the years technological advancements have made solar power affordable and portable enough so common people can use it for their everyday lives. Nowadays solar panels have become so small that pocket calculators use these as an alternative power source to the usual single cell batteries.
But the use of portable solar power did not stop with the use of pocket calculators. Numerous inventions have made use of portable solar power and some of these are available all over the world. Let’s take of look at 5 affordable uses of portable…

All brands of rechargeable trimmers have a battery life issue because they need to remain lightweight. Over time the charge controller board does not allow for a good deep battery charge so they only last a minute. You can find them at yard sales all the time. If you have a spare panel with MC connectors this is a fun easy fix. An external charge controller (not shown) can be added for quick solar charges needed in heavily shaded areas. You can use up to a 50 ft extension cord before voltage becomes a problem. Great solution for larger yards far from power. No more burning up electric AC trimmers with 200 ft of cord. I guess you could use a gas trimmer but the exhaust is very bad for you.
