Malleable Off-Grid Solar Chargers

The 'LightSaver' Roll-Up Solar Charger Powers Devices Anywhere

— September 21, 2019 — Eco
The 'LightSaver' roll-up solar charger is a malleable solution for outdoor adventurers that will keep them connected and power up when spending time off the grid in the wilderness. The pocket-sized device works by being unfurled to reveal a solar panel that can be positioned in the sunlight to soak up energy and relay it back to the accompanying 3,200 mAh battery. This will provide about 1.5 charges for average smartphones to ensure users stay connected, while the battery itself will take about six hours to be completely charged.

The 'LightSaver' roll-up solar charger weighs just 4.9 ounces to make it ideal for carrying alongside other gear and can even be attached to the exterior of a backpack to passively charge while hiking.
Trend Themes
1. Off-grid Solar Power - Businesses can look into developing more malleable and portable solar power solutions for outdoor adventurers and those living off the grid.
2. Mobile Charging Technology - Businesses can explore creating even more efficient mobile charging technology to reduce charging time for on-the-go consumers.
3. Integrated Outdoor Gear - There is an opportunity for businesses to integrate portable solar charging technology into outdoor gear such as backpacks and tents for added convenience.
Industry Implications
1. Outdoor Gear - The outdoor gear industry can explore integrating portable solar charging technology into their products, providing an added value and convenience for their customers.
2. Renewable Energy - The renewable energy industry could benefit from focusing on developing more portable and malleable solar power solutions to cater to a rapidly growing consumer demand for sustainable and off-grid living.
3. Consumer Electronics - The consumer electronics industry can benefit from incorporating more efficient and compact mobile charging technology in their devices, promoting an enhanced user experience.
