Presenting the Etón Microlink Self-Powered AM /FM / NOAA Weather Radio with Flashlight, Solar Power and Cell Phone Charger. Kind of a mouthful but an interesting solar gadget all the same.

With this little device you can not only charge your mobile phone and listen to the radio, you can also choose between solar charging or charging by using the hand crank – great for those days when there’s no enough sunlight for a full solar charge.

Keychain Solar Flashlight

Keychain flashlights can be super handy – but it’s only when you really need one that you realise you haven’t checked the battery for about eight years and it is very definitely dead.

What you need is a Solar Powered Keychain Flashlight from Gamasonic. Just leave your keys in the sun once in a while and you’ll always have light – this flashlight only needs 30 minutes charge time for 3 hours of power.

There are four different styles of solar flashlight in the range.

The Hat that's a Solar Charger

Looks like the ubiquitous baseball cap has had a solar makeover. UK company Solar Select has come up with a hat that has a solar panel on the top part of the brim and LED lights on the under side. Result? After a full day hiking you’ll have enough light stored to carry on for half the night.

The initial charge takes three days (!) after which the hat takes eight hours to fully recharge. Each full solar charge will knock out five hours of light. The light can shine from 6 feet / 1.8 meters up to 30 feet / 9 meters ahead of you, depending on the jauntiness of your cap angle.

The manufacturer notes the product is “hands free” – which is definitely something most people look for in a hat.
