Rukus Solar makes Rukus this Summer!

Thanks eton corporation for getting me one. As you readers know I won't talk about a product if its crap. This one rocks, used little plug in power and recharged off any sunlight. It's a beast (in a good way)!

Rock the park

Or the campsite or the backyard. Wherever there’s sun, you’ve got an instant party. Connect wirelessly to any Bluetooth® enabled device and start blasting your favorite tunes in stereo sound. Our super-efficient solar panel powers both the music…and the fun.

Go wireless

Get powered up

rukus’amazing solar panel generates massive amounts of power to play your music all day long. When it gets dark, the internal lithium battery will keep the music going for 8 hours*. Or you can use the AC adapter for non-stop entertainment.

Way to charge

Thanks to the USB port on the rukus Solar, you can charge your favorite mobile device while you listen. Now that’s super smart…and convenient.

Start a rukus

With two full-range speaker drivers, the rukus Solar delivers crystal clear audio with stereo sound. And when you need to pump up the low end, hit the bass boost button for extra oomph.

Grab & groove

So lightweight. So easy to carry. We promise you can handle it. And when you’re on the go, the storage net secures your device while it’s charging.

See for yourself

A Look at Different Solar Power Systems for Your Home

Contrary to popular belief, home solar energy systems are among the most cost-effective ways to improve your dwelling and reduce your carbon footprint. Solar panels and solar hot water systems offer a payback in as little as four years, depending on your house’s “solar readiness” and the financial incentives available. As the cost of energy continues to increase, the different home solar energy systems available allow you to gain more control over your energy expenses. Benefits of Solar Power Cost savings: The amount of money you save by using solar power depends on your utility costs, solar access and how you choose to pay for your investment. With time, however, a solar energy system will always pay for itself and can even increase the value of your home. When you install a solar electric, or photovoltaic (PV), system, a meter tracks the electricity it contributes to the power grid and the electricity your home uses. Most of the power produced stays in the house and never passes the utility meter. You pay only for the remainder (reduced amount) of energy your home draws from the power grid. If your system produces more power than you use, you receive energy credits.
