Choosing the Right Solar Powered Flashlight

A solar flashlight has incredible advantages over a conventional battery-powered light. You typically don't need one unless the grid is down (blackout, natural disasters) or there is no grid at all (camping, wilderness hikes). And from an environmental standpoint they are completely carbon neutral. They can be used in remote conditions where it is impossible to find any source of power. This article looks at some of the top solar powered flashlights available. We are biased, of course, but we think GoSun's SolarLight is the best you can buy. It is cheap and portable, but packs enough lumens to illuminate any campsite. It has multiple modes, including a lantern mode. It has a built-in rechargeable battery so that you can recharge with either your GoSun charger or trickle charge with the sun. Plus the USB adapter on the flashlight means that it too can be an alternate charging source for your portable goods. A Look at Solar Powered FlashLights A good solar flashlig

Why Carbon Monoxide Poisoning From Generators Can Pose a Greater Threat Than Hurricanes

 A recent spate of hurricanes in the American South has brought up a new round of discussions on the effects of climate change on severe weather events. But an overlooked danger that hurricanes cause is the massively increased use of gas generators. And there is good reason to think that emissions from these generators lead to more deaths than the hurricanes themselves. GoSun has always advocated the use of solar-powered devices to create carbon-neutral power. Our top-of-the-line product in this regard is Solar Table Back to the dangers of gas generators. According to a recent article from the Houston Chronicle, carbon monoxide poisoning from generators appears to have killed more people in Louisiana and Texas than Hurricane Laura itself. It claimed eight lives along the Gulf Coast, an area that the storm damaged several buildings and left 500,000 without power. Consumer Reports says users should never run a generator in an enclosed space. It should be kept at least 20 feet from the ho

What is the Solar Kitchen?

 GoSun’s Solar Kitchen is the ultimate off-grid cooking solution. It lets you cook and refrigerate your food, and even charge all your USB-powered electric devices, with absolutely no electrical outlets needed. Cook your food with the GoSunFusion—a solar cooker with a battery bank that makes food day or night—and refrigerate it with the GoSunChill, an electric cooler that needs no ice. You can power both the Chill and the Fusion (and keep your devices charged) with theSolarTable 60, a table covered with solar panels. No other kitchen is as portable as GoSun’s Solar Kitchen. All three of its main appliances either have wheels or can attach to something that does. The GoSunChill is arguable the only fridge designed to stay on the go. It has a built-in pull-out handle and built-in wheels. TheSolarTable 60 also folds up easily, attaching to the handles of the Chill like a roller bag. To complete the arrangement, the Fusion can be bungeed onto the Chill with a built-in bungee bar. The Solar
