The growth of the solar power industry in recent years has brought about a number of different devices for consumers, from portable chargers to a variety of different devices that run entirely off of integrated solar photovoltaic cells. One of these new devices due to hit the shelves this month is a completely solar-powered stereo speaker set developed by Landport.

The speakers weigh in at 290 grams and measure 19.5cm by 11.2cm by 5cm, small enough to keep with you in a medium-sized bag but large enough to give you good sound quality no matter where you may be. Like all solar powered devices these come with a built in battery to store their charge, yet unlike most that quickly run out of juice once the sun is down the Li-Ion battery in these can keep going for up to 8 hours of continuous play once it is fully charged.

These new speakers, though by no means a major landmark in solar energy technology, show how a combination of advancements can help bring about eco-friendly design mergers in order to allow for an all-around more friendly user experience at a reduced price while helping to save the environment at the same time. For speakers in this particular line, for instance, you should be able to purchase them for around $58 once they become available later this month – a major drop in prices for comparable products even at the same time last year.

With such developments occurring regularly and new advancements being made into solar energy production the overall costs of solar-powered products and external chargers is likely to continue to drop with even more energy efficient solar converters coming out in the coming months and years. This could eventually bring around a whole new line of solar-powered products and, with any luck, potentially even eliminate entirely our need for conventional energy sources to power our portable gear.
