The Chill is GoSun's 12-volt solar cooler that keeps your food cool, has three USB ports on its Powerbank, and produces 200 lumens of light. It's secret to being the most effective 12-volt cooler on the market is using only half the power compared to a regular car fridge. In fact, we performed a test to prove it. Here's the competition breakdown: The contenders: A GoSun Chill vs. a car fridge. Both carry 40 liters. The scenario: For a control, they were both placed outside on a 75°F sunny day. Both were cranked down to 40°F. They were tested side-by-side to remove all variables such as wind speed, outdoor air temperature, nearby shade, and other factors. The result: The Chill used half the energy of the car fridge.  Here's a more detailed breakdown. The Chill used half the energy. Using an IR scanner, infrared camera, and a Kill a Watt Meter (energy consumption tracker) you can see below how the Chill is using .03 kilowatt-hours (kWh) vs. .06

One of the biggest roadblocks to a good camping trip is sufficient lighting. Once the Sun goes down, if you don't have enough headlamps or LED lights, then finding anything becomes nearly impossible. And if your batteries run out, then it's (literally) lights out. That's why solar camping lights are so great. They never run out of batteries and are built for portability. Below are listed some of the best solar camping lights. Sun King Pico The Sun King Pico redefines portable light.

One of the biggest advantages of solar appliances is their off-grid hardiness. No need for powerlines or modern infrastructure when you can generate all the energy you need in situ. This makes solar appliances particularly helpful in places away from civilization or in areas with limited infrastructure. And since limited infrastructure and a lack of clean water often overlap, solar water disinfection is a perfect match. Solar water disinfection is a sort of portable water purification that cleans water through solar energy in order to remove contaminants such as bacteria, viruses, and protozoa. It does so through a mixture of electricity generated by solar PV panels, solar heating, or solar ultraviolet light collection. Most solar water purifiers use solar heat to warm water to a near boiling point for a short period of time. This can be done through the use of solar heat collectors or solar insulation. Once water is boiled, it is considered to be pasteurized water. The

Smartphones, even if at 100 percent battery, can go dead in a day, which is far less time than it takes for the power grid to be restored in the worst natural disasters.
