It’s the time of year when we start cranking our AC and slowly watching our PSE&G bill rise like the cost of filling up a Nissan Titan. It brings up a dilemma because besides cranking our AC we also crank our playlists while throwing our fair share of deck parties. Sitting out by the grill with a few beers and no music makes for a quick “(YAWN!) Well, I think it’s time we should be heading out,” type bash. The solution – The Soulra XL from Eton. The 72 square inch monocrystal solar panel lets you charge up 4-5 hours of playback for your next party. If you’re blasting some Wiz Khalifa perhaps a bit less, if you’re mellowing out with the new Fleet Foxes album perhaps a bit more. The anti-glare tinted iPod chamber let’s you see what you’re doing (so you don’t accidentally put on that one Britney track) and it charges in just 4 hours of sunlight.
