 | The energy from the sun falling on earth is so powerful that in just 1 hour the amount of energy that falls on the earth equals the amount used by the world’s population in a whole year.
Most of the sun’s energy transforms to processes such as heat and photosynthesis, but it can also be captured and converted into electricity.
Solio has been designed to harness the sun’s energy, shortening the process of transforming it into electricity by using photovoltaic cells. Converting sunlight into electricity, the solio provides a power source which can be used immediately. The process is clean, fast, and thanks to Solio portable. The electirc current can either be stored in a battery or used directly in the form of electricity. The stronger the sunlight and the more rays that hit the cell, the more electricity is generated.
