Solar Cells for Your Cell Phone

For those of us who are finding ourselves away from power sources to charge up our cell phones, whether it’s due to something like hiking in the mountains or whether it’s because we drive a lot, or anything else–we have a solution. There are a number of companies now that make solar phone chargers. No electrical outlet and your cell phone’s battery is dead? No problem. Just juice it up with the sun’s energy through USB solar chargers.
