Overland Solar
Solar power is the energy conversion from sunlight to electricity which is either done indirectly through concentrated solar power or directly through photovoltaic or also as a combination of the two. The concentrated solar power system utilizes mirrors, lenses and systems of solar tracking to focus a broader area of sunlight onto a small beam. The photovoltaic effects refer to the process through which photovoltaic cells converts light into electric current. Initially photovoltaic were only used as sources of electricity for medium and small-sized applications. They have now evolved to include commercial power plants.Solar power has gained much popularity recently, and there's been a long history behind photovoltaics. Theory has it that humans used solar energy as early as the 7th century BC. History, on the other side, has it that humans were in these early times used to light fires using magnifying glass material. The Romans and Greeks are recorded to harness solar energy as early as 3rd BC and utilized mirrors to light torches for religious ceremonies. Another use of solar power that is still popular today is the sunrooms concept. The sunroom's utilized huge windows to direct sunlight into one concentrated area. A number of iconic Roman bathhouses, specifically those located on the south side of the building were sunrooms. In the 1700s and 1800s, scientists and researchers were able to use sunlight to power long voyages and power ovens successfully. They were also able to harness the sun's power to power steamboats. There is some debate on when and who invented solar power. One of those attributed to the invention of the solar cell is the French scientist Edmond Becquerel.

Bugout 130â„¢ Solar Charger
So I acquired the Bugout 130 primarily to power a Dometic PLB40, which in turn powers a Dometic CFX75DZ cooler for weekend trips to races and camping, among other things. I bought it earlier this year and tested it right away. Great product that does exactly what it says on the label. Last weekend, I finally got to put it to the test in the wild for four days of camping.
I'm really satisfied with the product; it's a tough, well-made product (durable). The fact that it folds up makes it very handy to store in my car's floor storage. The fact that the inverter comes with alligator clips for the automobile battery adds to the peace of mind. Definitely a cool and useful tool.
