Combating rising electricity prices with solar power

by Benny on April 20, 2010

Electricity prices have been rising steadily in recent years, and so anything you can do to reduce your energy consumption can only be good news. Recently I’ve been looking into solar-powered battery rechargers.

I seem to always have at least a couple of batteries charging at any one time, and, while this probably isn’t adding a huge amount to my electricity bill, it does mount up over the year to a fairly significant sum.

I’ve looked at quite a few models already, ranging in price from about £15 to £30, and they all look pretty good. The one problem I have is that none of them give specific figures on how long they take to charge standard batteries – possibly because it depends on how sunny it is.
