Wouldn't it Be Cool to Have a Solar Charged iPhone

We're having rolling blackouts in California and it looks like it'll go on forever. It's because of the wind...

The average solar power charger takes between 6 and 10 hours to charge an electronic device, such as a cell phone. Unfortunately, most of these chargers only work in directly sunlight, which makes them ineffective on overcast days.


A solar battery charger is a device used to avoid using power source for charging. They are easy to use and you do not have to pay a lot of attention. This charger has solar panels to collect power from the sun and convert into electricity. The main advantage of using a solar battery charger is that it can be used to store energy, which can be used later when sun is not available on a wet or cloudy day. You can charge the battery of your cell phone without taking them out in the sun. You can store the solar energy in the solar charger during the day and can use it at night to charge your phone.

Back to our power outage. Last year the huge Paradise fire began on November 8, 2018. PG&E was charged with being a significant cause for the fire and the enormous damage. To avoid being charged with the same thing this year, they're turning off the power whenever the wind blows.

Away out here they got a name
For rain and wind and fire
The rain is Tess, the fire Joe,
And they call the wind Maria

Maria blows the stars around
And sends the clouds a’flyin’
Maria makes the mountains sound
Like folks were up there dying

Maria Maria They call the
wind Maria
Before I knew Maria’s name
And heard her wail and whinin’
I had a girl and she had me
And the sun was always shinin’

But then one day I left my girl
I left her far behind me
And now I’m lost, so gone and lost
Not even God can find me

Maria Maria They call the wind Maria

Out here they got a name for rain
For wind and fire only
But when you’re lost and all alone
There ain’t no word but lonely

And I’m a lost and lonely man
Without a star to guide me
Maria blow my love to me
I need my girl beside me
