There are many handy small solar items to investigate.

I thoroughly enjoy helpful solar things, & they have come in handy many times.  I use my cell phone a lot & it’s battery just doesn’t last very long. I have a charger for my cell phone.  You can use a cord & plug it in to an electrical outlet to charge it.  It can also be charged by sun light.  A button on the side when held down will turn this device into a very bright light & push the button again it will start flashing in case you are notifying someone for help on the road. When it’s fully charged, I use a cord to plug it into my cell phone.  It charges much faster than using regular electricity.

I also have a solar powered radio.  You have a choice of using batteries & a switch will let you choose whether you want to use that option or solar.  It also has a crank for charging.  It will provide a bright light if needed & will also charge your phone. We’ve had our lights go out because of a storm & was sure glad we had this radio.

We also have a solar powered light.  It comes flat, you inflate it & expose it sunlight.   I keep it near a window so it stays fully charged.  A switch allows you to turn it on or off.  Just one solar cube gives off a lot of light.
