Solar Chargers products for sale online in Zambia

A solar charger is a device that uses sunlight energy to generate electricity. This power is then used to charge various electrical devices such as cell phones, laptops, car batteries, reading lights and more. Because solar chargers cannot directly supply electricity into the devices, a rechargeable battery pack is included in the device. It is charged through the solar modules, and their charge is, then, redistributed to your gadget so that an external electrical source is not required.

Are solar battery chargers effective?

Although solar chargers function very well, they do have some limitations. Firstly, the power of a solar battery charger cannot be compared to a regular battery charger. These chargers are not as powerful, so it takes more time to charge the batteries.

It is easy to see the benefits of solar battery chargers - they allow you to recharge gadgets and even car batteries without an external electrical source.

There are also some subtler benefits. For example, once manufactured, solar cells do not generate any emissions, waste, or by-products.

Secondly, a solar charger gives out minimal current, so it is more useful for maintaining a charge rather than charging a completely dead battery. So, you must be careful if you are thinking of relying entirely on a solar battery charger.

To test solar phone chargers, we evaluated each unit's performance, ease of use, durability, design and more. Solar technology is viable for charging your mobile devices, but some chargers definitely work better than others, and not all are designed to handle every situation.

Performance from a solar panel will vary, but in most cases guaranteed power output life expectancy is between 3 and 25 years.

Yes, solar panels still work in cloudy weather — they just might generate less power, depending upon the quality and efficiency of your panels.

To use a solar power bank efficiently, expose the device's solar panel to full sunlight to maximize its charging capabilities. On average, it will take your solar power bank between 25-50 hours to fully charge, assuming the device was exposed to unobstructed sunlight.

Solar chargers used to charge a phone directly, rather than by using an internal battery, can damage a phone if the output is not well-controlled, for example by supplying excessive voltage in bright sunlight.

A smartphone uses 2 to 3 watts from its battery when in use. The battery holds a charge of 1,440 mAh, or about 5.45 watt hours. A solar panel will need to provide a minimum of 5 watts when charging. Ideally 10 to 15 watts of charging power is recommended.
