Have you ever had to go to the kitchen and grab that trusty broomstick to bang on the ceiling in an attempt to let your noisy neighbors know that their music is too loud? If this happens to you all too frequently why not just get some bigger speakers and blast them out? For the environmentally conscious music lover, there is a solution, solar-powered speakers that can really pump out the jams.

The ReVerb by Regen has delivered in both the style and sound categories for the avid music fan. Basically a gargantuan iHome, the 3 foot tall ReVerb pumps out an impressive 60 watts and features a backlit LCD display that will keep you informed about the status of the system. The flat panel system’s batteries can be fully charged with 20 hours of natural sunlight exposure or 40 hours of indoor light exposure.

Regen has also made the claim that the system has a 1 to 1 ratio of direct sunlight exposure to playback time. So, if you charge the system for an hour outside, for example, you’ll get an hour of listening pleasure. Indoor light exposure to playback time has been clocked at a 2 to 1 ratio, so 2 hours worth of an indoor charge will guarantee at least an hour of playback. The ReVerb is an excellent product for any music fan and environmentalist, but it’s not the only solar powered sound system that can give you the listening experience you long for.

For the do it yourselfer out there, or anyone who can collect on a favor, there is a do-it-yourself kit you can purchase from Sola System that has the potential to really kick out the jams at your next party.

The DIY Sola System is essentially a bundle of wires, a set of 2 speakers, and a solar panel that powers it all. The solar panel mounts to a swivel, so it can be adjusted to any angle in order to harness the suns powerful rays.

Unlike the ReVerb, the Sola System can be linked together with multiple speakers and multiple power panels, giving the real gung-ho music fanatic the potential to create an entirely solar-powered dance club with some real power moving through those speakers.
