8 Solar Powered Devices Every Home Should Use

After investing in solar panels, the next step is figuring out how to maximize their potential. Everyone knows that harnessing solar energy at home offers independence from the national grid, slashes utility costs, and contributes to environmental sustainability. Additionally, your solar panels can eventually pay for themselves through energy savings.

The financial benefits of solar power depend largely on your household's energy usage. If your family consumes a lot of electricity, you may still rely on grid-supplied power occasionally. However, becoming smarter about energy consumption can significantly cut down on grid dependency—especially by incorporating solar-powered gadgets into your daily routine.

Below are some of my favorite solar-powered products that can enhance your home life...

 

Solar-Powered Phone Chargers

Our phones are indispensable these days, and we often find ourselves scrambling for a charger when the battery runs low. Most people keep a portable charger handy, but did you know you can charge your phone sustainably? One of the most practical solar-powered chargers available is the Travel Solar Charger from Mobile Solar Chargers. It's compact, portable, and reasonably priced.

For those who prefer something with an internal battery, consider the 20,000mAh Hiluckey solar power bank. Its panels can store energy for later use, meaning it doesn't always need sunlight to charge your phone. This flexibility makes it ideal for indoor charging too.

 

Logitech K750 Wireless Solar Keyboard

With many of us working from home, having the right tools is crucial. A wireless keyboard not only keeps your desk clutter-free but also eliminates the hassle of constantly changing batteries. Enter the Logitech K750 solar keyboard, which charges itself using ambient light.

Paired with a battery-powered mouse, this setup connects wirelessly via a tiny USB receiver. Each full charge lasts up to three months, and the keyboard typically lasts about two years. Plus, it’s incredibly energy-efficient—a must-have for eco-conscious workers!

 

Solar-Powered Speakers

Bluetooth speakers have become a staple in modern homes, whether you're throwing backyard barbecues or just relaxing in the garden. The Eton Rugged Ruckus is a fantastic solar-powered speaker with excellent sound quality and Bluetooth functionality.

ABFOCE also offers a solid option with its solar-powered speaker, which extends battery life thanks to its integrated panel. Just ten minutes of sunlight gives you half an hour of playback, and it doubles as a phone charger! Now that’s convenience.

 

Solar-Powered Headphones

Wireless headphones are great for listening to tunes without disturbing others, especially during workouts or outdoor activities. Helios recently launched the world’s first pair of wireless solar-powered headphones. These sleek headsets feature a photovoltaic cell atop the ear cups, allowing continuous charging while you listen.

 

Solar-Powered Garden Bricks

For anyone looking to beautify their garden while adding functionality, Paverlight’s solar-powered bricks are worth checking out. These lights provide ambiance and illuminate pathways without needing any wiring. Installation is straightforward, and they’re tough enough to handle heavy loads like vehicles.

Not only do they look good, but they’re also durable against harsh weather conditions. Whether it rains, snows, or reaches scorching temperatures, these bricks remain intact and operational.

 

TOPENS Swing Gate Opener

This gadget is one of my favorites because it combines practicality with luxury. The TOPENS Swing Gate Opener uses solar power to charge a Wi-Fi remote control, letting you open your driveway gate straight from your car window.

Accessories like additional remotes, keypads, vehicle sensors, and locks are readily available. And if needed, switching between solar and mains power is simple and seamless.

 

REOLINK Solar WiFi Camera

Security is always a top priority, and REOLINK’s solar-powered security cameras fit the bill perfectly. Equipped with rechargeable batteries powered by solar energy, these cameras offer reliable surveillance. Depending on usage settings, the battery life varies, but a 5V/2A adapter is included as backup.

Through the accompanying app, you can customize features such as siren activation, receive alerts, and monitor your property remotely. Whether you're traveling or away on business, you can stay connected to your home anytime.

 

Brightech Ambience Pro Garden Lights

Speaking of garden enhancements, Brightech Ambience Pro solar-powered string lights deserve mention. Featuring up to 48 feet of 1W LED bulbs, these lights are entirely wireless and solar-driven. No more tangled cords or battery replacements—just plug them in and let the sun do the rest.
