Recently, Nick Garbutt, an Award Winning Wildlife Photographer, took a 4 week long trip to Madagascar (an island nation in the Indian Ocean off the southeastern coast of Africa.). Nick took along the SolarGorilla & PowerGorilla Solar Laptop Charger Kit to keep his laptop charged and powered while in Madagascar’s remote areas where electricity was sporatic or even non-existent. Very pleased with the results, Nick stated, “My Work as a wildlife and environmental photographer takes me to some of the remoter parts of the world, places where electricity is often sporatic or non-existent. In today’s world of digital cameras, laptops and instant downloads, keeping equipment powered in the field is a consistant problem. Not any more. The combination of the Solar Gorilla / Power Gorilla is a compact, rugged and convenient solution that gives freedom and piece of mind. Recently, during 4 weeks in the field in Madagascar, I didn’t have to mains charge my Mac Book once!”
Nick Garbutt also sent some great photos of the Solar Gorilla and Power Gorilla in action while on his trip in Madagascar:
Thank you Nick for putting the Solar Gorilla and Power Gorilla to the test! We always appreciate great stories like yours. This really helps others feel confident that the this awesome solar laptop charger works great whether they’re just enjoying the great outdoors with it or if they are on a mission with their dedicated work on the other side of the world in Madagascar!
So you have a shed or a garage outback with no electricity and have been procrastinating about having electricity run to it because of many different reason. Let’s face it between it being a project in itself, running electricity to your shed or garage costs lots of money, adds to your electric bill.. and who wants to deal with a contractor anyway?
Well, with the new emerging solar techologies out there it’s now possible to have a nice functional situation for your shed or garage without the high costs for running electricity to it.
So if its lighting inside your shed or garage that you’re looking for then consider a Solar Shed Light which provides light inside your shed or garage with the convenience of a pull string. Basically the Solar Panel mount attaches to the outside and and the light gets mounted inside then walla your done! You can get a Solar Shed Light for under $120 at EarthtechProducts.com.
If you are looking for some light on the outside of your shed or garage on those nights where you need to run out there for a tool or something then check out the variety of Solar Powered Security Motion Lights that range from $65 – $114 depending on the brightness that you are looking for. These lights are triggered by motion and are completely solar so no maintenance is needed. You simply mount the light in the location of your choice and mount the solar panel in the best location of sun light. The solar panel comes with a nice length of cord so you have the ability to mount the panel in the right place.
If you need some power for running some tools, a radio, or charging other small electronic devices then you can take a look at the Solar Laptop Charger & Portable Power Kit 200 Watt. Despite it’s name Solar Laptop Charger Kit, It can actually do much more than that since it has a built in inverter that allows you to plug in any small 110 v appliance via the 110 v outlet. This unit comes with a foldable solar panel and a power pack 200. You can basically have the foldable panel outside and run the line from the solar panel inside your shed or garage and connect it to the power pack 200 and your all set. what’s great about this set up is that it is portable so you can take with you camping, fishing, hunting, or anywhere else that you need remote power. The Power Pack 200 comes with attached jumper cables and a 250 p.s.i. air compressor (those could be useful )
There are also great alternatives for venting your shed or garage with using Solar Shed Vents. Whether you need exhausting or intake these solar vents really work great. Prices for Solar Vents start at around $99.
So now you know that there are some great alternatives to running electricity to your shed or garage.. so what are you waiting for stop procrastinating!
Here is the perfect eco-friendly gift… The Companion C1 Radio is more than just a radio, it’s a Crank Solar Radio, Flashlight & Cell Phone Charger! This great little companion is perfect for those who like independence to utilize the power of the sun or human power instead of buying batteries.
There are many wind up radios available out there on the market but very few have such great quality as the Eyemax Wind-Up Radio. This crank radio has many nice features like am/fm radio, built-in led flashlight, small solar panel and crank handle. The solar panel is really amazing.. As soon as you put it out in the sun the music starts playing pretty much instantly and will continue playing while in the sun. This item though is most known for it’s crank handle that allows you to crank or wind it up.. A 30-second wind provides 35 minutes of play time. Pretty impressive. This was also the only wind up radio that I have seen with such a great manufacturer (FreePlay) backing it up. They literally replace the unit no questions asked if you experience any problems with it. But I would have to say it would be pretty unlikely that this item would have any defects because it is made with such great quality. I mean nice thick plastic and quality components.
So if you are looking for a great quality eco friendly type gift for the holidays, the Eyemax Wind Up Radio comes highly recommended. psssst it’s only $42.99.
