INTRODUCTION

 Every day the sun radiates a huge amount of energy called solar energy.
 Most surprisingly, it radiates more energy in one day than the world uses in one
year.
 Like most stars, the sun is a big gas ball made up mostly of hydrogen and helium
gas.
 The energy comes from its inner core as a result of nuclear fusion.
 A small part of the visible radiant energy that the sun emits into space reaches
the Earth, but that is more than enough to supply all our energy needs.
 Solar energy is considered a renewable energy source due to this fact.
 Here we are discussing about the functionality and use of solar power in speaker.

How do solar panels work?

 A solar panel works by allowing photons, or particles of light, to knock

electrons free from atoms, generating a flow of electricity.
 Solar panels actually consist of many smaller units called photovoltaic
cells.
 Many cells linked together make up a solar panel.
 Each photovoltaic cell is made up of two slices of semi-conducting
material, usually silicon.
 Photovoltaic cells need to establish an electric field to work.
 An electric field occurs when opposite charges are separated.

 Sunlight is made of energy particles called photons.

 The photovoltaic cells have semiconductor plates like Silicon.
 When photons attack this plate, the electrons get knocked off from the
atoms.
 They are collected by metal plates and converted into a steady stream
of electricity.
 A couple of other components of the cell turn these electrons into
usable power.

 Metal conductive plates on the sides of the cells collect the electrons
and transfer them to wires.
 Photovoltaic cells are devices that convert solar energy to electricity.
Solar panel is a framework of such cells.
 Your Bluetooth speakers are powered by this seemingly simple process.

1. Youmoon Solar-powered Portable 8

Wireless Bluetooth Speaker

 Youmoon solar Bluetooth speaker looks like a small square alarm clock. It is
roughly 6 inches broad and long. It is 2.3 inches thick. It weighs only 10.4 ounces.
One face of the speaker has a grille and buttons. The other face has the solar
panel.
 The body is covered in silicone finish on the sides.  There’s a metal frame that
goes around the body. It can be used as a stand for the speaker in many
orientations.
 This best wireless speaker has efficiency mono crystalline solar panel with internal
1200MAH Li-ion battery. Its internal battery provides 6 hours for listening long into
the night, and 20 hours call duration charged at sunny 80-120MAH / hour.
 Also, it is a fast-charging one. What is more, this wireless speaker is dust-proof
and water resistant which could make it suitable for outdoors. With its silicone
case and stainless steel bracket, 360° rotation, it is great for any outdoor activity,
or just lounging by the pool. Moreover, with its latest Bluetooth technology, it
could connect to your device in 3 seconds. Since Youmoon is IPX4-rated, it is
water-resistant. It can be used as a shower speaker as long as you don’t drown it
in the hot tub.
2. Honeywell Wireless Outdoor Solar 9
Speaker 
 The Honeywell solar outdoor wireless speaker allows you to take your
favorite music anywhere you want wirelessly. Honeywell has created a
weather resistant speaker that features crisp sound quality and bass.
 The solar panel recharges the speaker’s long lasting batteries giving you
up to 8 hours of listening pleasure on a single charge. The unit also
includes an AC adaptor to power the unit when sunlight is not an option.
 It works with a wide range of inputs including iPods, CD players, MP3
Players, and more. A single transmitter works with multiple speakers so
you can listen to the same music in numerous locations.
 The package also includes a remote control, a pre-installed rechargeable
battery, and a complete UL-listed AC adaptors and connectors for
maximum flexibility when connecting to various audio sources. One of
the best features of this speaker is the ability to adjust it via remote
control and recharges under the sun as you party away.

3. MicroSolar Portable Bluetooth
Speaker
 It focuses on appearance and 360⁰ sound delivery. It may have the
attractive design but it does not have a lot of features. It has water-
resistance on its side.
 You can carry it with the help of a handle. It weighs about 2.5 pounds
on its own. It is 9 inches long across the diameter. This Bluetooth
speaker is IP44 rated. It’s both dust- and water-resistant. It charges
via a micro-USB cable too.
 There are no extras like auxiliary input or battery bank. This speaker
is Bluetooth only. It has a battery life of 8 hours on full volume.
MicroSolar solar Bluetooth speaker has the speaker on the underside
