For a greener power consumption alternative, the Soulra XL, created by Eton, is powered using a 72 sq-inch enhanced monocrystal solar panel. It has a rechargeable lithium ion battery pack and you can use it to play or recharge your iPod or iPhone.
The speaker system features eight speaker drivers, and has an 22W output with bass boost.
The Soulra XL charges up fully in the sun after five hours, but this depends on the sun’s intensity, with eight hours of playback, also depending on audio volume.
The device comes with an AC adapter so you have the option of plugging the system into an ordinary wall socket and recharging its lithium-ion battery.
The only downside is that the length of play time may vary depending on where you live and the intensity of the sun.
