Bangalore: Its " GO GREEN " all around, so why desktops take a back seat? Recently, Simmtronics Semiconductors have launched an all new range of desktops that are powered by solar energy.
The desktop is powered by the sun and it will work wonders for locations encountering frequent power cuts. Moreover, the company claims, that it not only runs with sunlight, but also saves power which allows it to run for another 10 hours in the absence of sunlight. The PC is priced at an affordable rate of 
28,990 as well as a year's worth of on-site warranty.
The solar PC is powered by a Via C7 1.6 GHz processor, 1GB RAM and includes 160GB HDD and a 15.6-inch LED monitor. The keyboard and mouse are included and the operating system on the computer is Linux. The solar kit includes a 74W solar panel with charge controller, SMF battery and AC inverter.
One should not expect too much out the PC at such an affordable price, but the device looks perfect for internet browsing, office work, watching a movie or listening music. Though it'll be a challenge powering the PC during the monsoons, yet there are lots of eyes on this new device.
