Select Solar Blog

With Spring on its way and the promise of warm weather, we have been busy with a new product range aimed at the serious traveller.  With our thoughts turning to holidays and exploring new places, we have put together a range of high-spec folding panels, making power on the move easier then ever before. 

We are delighted to have become the UK’s sole distributor for My Mobile Power solar power solutions. Our new range of folding panels from My Mobile Power are made with UniSolar cells, making them especially efficient under low light conditions - great for use in the UK as well as abroad. They are all USB compatible, and the three larger ones come with a selection of mobile phone connectors as well as the usual 12V plug and socket. We’re also very pleased to be able to offer a really good portable laptop charging kit and camera battery charging kit using these panels.

Sunny beads change colour in sunlight because they are made from a special ´reversible photo chromic´ material. This material changes its chemical structure when exposed to ultraviolet light (like sunlight), allowing it to absorb a coloured pigment or dye. Once out of the sunlight, it becomes colourless again. A fun cheap way to show the sun this summer.
