3 Easy And Creative Ways To Make Use Of Solar Energy In Your Home Office
by Victor Bryant
It is common knowledge that lowering power bills can sometimes just mean finding new and creative ways to utilize natural energy resources, such as solar power. If you would like to see a drop in the costs you pay every month for electricity, it is always a good idea to see how you can make use of solar energy in your home--especially in your home office. Believe it or not, it's really not that difficult to start making some pretty impressive changes. Here are a few of the easiest ways you can start taking advantage of solar energy in your home office.
Invest in a solar wireless keyboard
Most people have no idea that the keyboard they use everyday could actually be operational through solar power. keyboards that attach to your computer with a USB cord use electrical power provided by the computer system to function. While the amount of power needed to keep the keyboard functioning may not be a lot, there is an opportunity to save some electrical energy by switching to solar. Solar powered keyboards have a solar strip that collects energy and are connected wirelessly to your computer system.
Grab a few solar-powered chargers
Cell phones, tablets, and other devices probably stay plugged in to charge in your office everyday. Invest in a couple solar-powered chargers to keep these devices powered up. There are some models that actually have suction cups so they stick to the closest window. Because these solar chargers are connected to your devices with a USB plug, the limits on what you can charge are pretty much endless.
Buy a small solar-powered generator
If you really want to take advantage of solar power in your home office, the primary investment you should make is in a solar-powered generator. These are now available in small, portable sizes and have an AC converter built right in. This means you can plug your laptop, speakers, printer and other devices right into the generator. These small generators can be placed near a window to gather energy and are small enough that they will not need a lot of space.
Try out solar Bluetooth speakers
If you are usually listening to music or voice in your office, a solar-powered bluetooth speaker can be a good investment. These speakers have a small solar panel built into the top to collect energy and never have to be plugged into an electrical outlet.
