Hi Guys,

It is summer time and electricity cuts have started in my area. I was looking for a power bank and I found some power banks which charge when kept under the sun. There is no reputed brand making the same. So, my query is anyone tried these solar power banks? I am skeptical to order one as I think that it might damage the gadgets.

Thanks

Would be good if you provide some links to these chargers.
As these are non branded, my initial thought is they won't be able to provide sufficient power via solar anyways, or would take hell lot of time to charge.
Well, you should also consider if you really need that functionality, because we generally stay at home rather than going on extreme outings. In that case, this feature is more of a gimmick rather than of actual use.
