These environmentally friendly devices charge your gadgets and are actually quite interesting. A bonus is you can buy them right now, if you live in Japan! Its called the SolarFold and SolarFan because are actually two different designs both of which incorporate four panels of spherical-based solar cells, that are made up of 1,900 globes each that collect light for charging, which in turn makes them much more flexible, unlike ordinary silicon crystals that cannot be bent, and a lot more durable than the average photovoltaic.
This device is actually quite efficient also it delivers about 2W over USB and in 10 minutes it can charge an Iphone up to make a three minute phone call. You will need more than a few days if you want a full battery! Both of these models are available for around $250, the downside is that the SolarFan is the only one that comes with a tripod so choosing which one you want doesn’t seem so hard!
Both products feature a new folding design making them portable so you can take them anywhere, when folded they can easily fit into your pocket. SolarFold opens like a folding screen and SolarFan, hence the names, opens up like a fan. These devices are the worlds first mobile solar charging systems that utilize light gathering spherical solar cells. The devices are sold as packages that include a carrying case and a USB charger. The devices were displayed at PV Expo 2010 and were released on March 4, 2010.
