Solio Classic

With global warming and other environmental problems becoming more and more serious, it is important to utilize solar power as well as other similar solutions. BES, or Better Energy Systems, recently announced a few new ways of helping the environment. The first being called the Solio Classic.

The Solio Classic is a universal gadget charger that is powerful enough to charge all of your handheld electronics, whether you are at home or on the move. As long it’s not a cloudy day, or night, your electronics can always be charging. A cool feature here is that it can also work by collecting power from a wall socket or the sun, and then it will store this energy with a internal rechargeable battery. It will charge your gadgets at the same rate as if it was plugged into a normal wall socket. Additionally, it will hold its charge for about a year. With this product, you won’t have to carry around many different wires and cables to charge your gadgets. Again, it can charge everything from iPods, to digital cameras, to cell phones, to handheld gaming consoles, and GPS units.

Additional information:

  • Adapter tips for most mobile phones included.
  • Suction cup provided for in-window solar energy collection.
  • AC adapter allows for charging from a conventional power outlet.
  • Maximum output: 2.5 Watts
  • Solar panel performance: 0.85 Watts
