SolarDAB - World’s First Solar Powered Radio
Roberts has announced its solarDAB radio, which it claims is the world's first solar-powered DAB radio. You must now be thinking “World’s first solar powered radio?” that should've been done long ago, but it is not so.
The radio contains a top-mounted solar panel along with a level indicator on the display screen that shows the strength of the solar level being absorbed. The solar panel either powers the radio directly, if the sun is strong enough, or recharges the internal battery. Once the battery is fully charged, it can run the radio for up to 27 hours, and if that’s not enough, the radio can also be used and charged via the mains.
The solarDAB is priced at £79.99 ($158).
