How wonderful will it be to power up your iPhone or iPod with the use of the sun’s energy? You can literally charge your phone anywhere and directly from the sun! NOVOTHINK has released product information about their hybrid solar charger case. Not only is the case’s design sleek but it is also sustains energy to charge the iPhone or iPod. The case comes in eight colors and available to pre-order here.
With 2 hours of direct exposure to sun, the solar charger case gives 30 minutes of talk time on a 3G network or 60 minutes of talk time on a 2G network.
“Novothink has developed the Solar Planner App as a free resource for our licensed solar charging cases, the SURGE, specifically designed for the iPhone 3G / 3GS and iPod touch 2nd generation. The NOVOTHINK Solar Planner provides an estimate of how much time you need to expose your Surge to the sun to maintain the battery level of your iPod touch or iPhone.
It works by transforming the energy from the sun into a reusable form of electricity, a process known as Photovoltaic (or PV for short). Your solar panel acts as a collecting tray, helping you catch the sun’s rays. The bigger the panel, the more energy you can collect. The energy collected is stored for your future use in a battery.”
