Solar isn’t just for rooftops and power stations – it’s powering gadgets, tools and our day-to-day lives like never before. Solar technology is becoming more affordable and varied – from lighting your garden to charging your phone.
At SolarTherm UK, we’re all about clean energy, including the small stuff. So here’s our guide to the coolest, most useful eco-friendly solar gadgets you need to get your hands on in 2025.
Solar Power Banks and Chargers
Solar power banks are perfect for camping, festivals and charging on the go. They use sunlight to charge internal batteries, which power your phone, tablet or other USB chargeable devices.
Top picks – foldable solar panels with USB ports, waterproof solar chargers for outdoor use and solar backpacks with built-in power banks.
Solar Powered Outdoor Lighting
Whether it’s for security or decoration, solar garden lighting is a popular eco-friendly upgrade. They charge during the day and automatically light up in the evening.
Top picks – solar fairy lights for gardens, motion-sensor security lights and solar floodlights for driveways.
Solar Camping Equipment
From solar powered generators to lanterns and torches, camping has become easier with solar powered gadgets – whether you are going completely off grid or just a night in the garden with the kids.
Top picks – solar powered torches and lighting, compact solar panels that charge devices on the go and portable solar panel generators.
Emergency Solar Radios
When a storm hits, or you experience a power cut, it’s useful to have a solar-powered radio. These are frequently paired with a hand-crank backup, flashlight and phone charging capability for emergencies.
Solar Gadgets for Pets
Even your pets can benefit from solar power – from water-fountains to automatic feeders. Gadgets for pets are becoming more popular as we put the wellbeing of our pets first. The comfort of a solar-powered heat pad and solar-powered pet trackers can give owners peace of mind knowing their pets are well cared for and safe.
Solar Water Purifiers
It is possible to clean water without electricity. Solar water purification systems use sunlight to kill bacteria and viruses. Perfect for use when travelling, camping or on the go.
Solar Car Accessories
From solar battery maintainers to fans and chargers, solar tech is quickly growing for your car. A solar trickle charger can keep your battery topped up while you’re parked and dashboard fans can keep your car cool. Solar tyre pressure monitoring systems allow you to monitor the pressure and temperature of your tyres, alerting you of any issues before they become an expensive problem.
Solar Smart Tech
Smart solar meets smart home – blinds that adjust to sunlight, sensors that run without ever needing a battery change, self-charging security – all of these are examples of smart tech that runs on solar power.
Why Solar Gadgets Matter
Every small solar device helps reduce our reliance on the grid and cuts CO₂ emissions. Whether you’re an outdoor enthusiast, professional glamper, tech genius or someone just trying to be greener, solar gadgets are an easy way to take a step towards a more sustainable future.
