Our reliance on socket charging to power up our gadgets has proved to be damaging to our environment. So, switching over to a solar charging solution is the perfect alternative. But most of the solar chargers available these days come equipped with a wall charging socket in order to continue providing juice even when the sun is not out or during the night. Ending all these problems, Thanko, a Japanese manufacturer, has designed a solar charger with a hybrid device that works even when the sun doesn’t smile.
