About this deal

However, the system works best when it’s exposed to the continuous sun. Of course – therein lies the problem. I do like the idea of the Roberts solar DAB radios but I have to say I prefer the original radio to the solar DAB 2.

Li-Ion Battery Replacement for Sigor Nuindie, Nuindie Floor and Nuindie Mini Table Light, Reading Lamp, Night Light What’s more, for the environmentally conscious among us, the Solar DAB 2 from Roberts gives you the chance to show the world just how committed you can be to saving energy. We’d expect to pay about half of the price for a kit like this from any other vendor, so we can only assume that you’re paying over the odds for the Roberts label.

A sustainable second life

The info button, meanwhile, changes which bits of the of DLS information, which is transmitted along with the DAB signal, to display. This includes station frequency, song/artist name, bandwidth, time, station name, and ancillary information like news headlines.

You could also potentially take this radio with you on hikes and outdoor camping trips – but we’d recommend taking an extra source of power, just in case. Clearly, this is a device that was designed for people from specific walks of life. The Roberts Solar DAB 2 digital radio is perfect for use in greenhouses, conservatories, and gardens. You could even get some good use out of it if you put it on your kitchen or bedroom windowsill – but only if the sun is shining. Features include: Roberts – Roberts is a well-known British brand who have been around since 1932. They only have one solar radio available at the moment, the SolarDAB 2. The most appealing part of the Solar DAB 2 radio from Roberts isn’t the bells and whistles of its design – but its practicality. The in-built solar panel means that you can potentially save money on batteries or mains charging.There’s a good chance you won’t have heard of most of the solar radio brands mentioned in this article. Most solar radios are made in China, often by brands that don’t share a lot of information about themselves online. This radio has good sound quality for its size, and offers a decent amount of bass. It can be turned up quite loud without distorting. Some, but not all, solar radios allow you to charge other devices such as phones and tablets via USB. Smartphones are quite power-hungry, so you might not be able to charge your phone more than 10-20 percent unless you’re prepared to spend hours turning the hand crank! However, that small amount of battery could make all the difference in an emergency situation.

If you're still using an analogue FM radio, it might be time to switch over to a digital radio instead. That's because DAB radios offer a wider range of stations to choose from and the sound tends to be crisper as there's less disturbance. Setting up your Roberts Solar DAB 2 is simple enough. The design is intuitive enough that if you’ve never used a DAB radio before, you’re not going to get lost or confused. Roberts even offers an online manual to help you out too.

Usually, one of the first things you’ll notice about any Roberts radio is its style. Just look at the Revival iStream 3 from Roberts for instance – it’s a masterpiece in retro aesthetics. We were testing our Solar DAB radio from Roberts in the less-than-sunny location of London. That meant that, like most people around Britain, we had a really hard time making sure it could constantly be exposed to adequate light for good charging.
