Paper-Thin Solar Chargers

The Solar Paper Charger is Small in Size and Big

— July 13, 2015 — Eco
The Solar Paper is a portable solar charger that, incredibly, is lighter than an iPhone 6 Plus and only a little longer and wider. This incredible contraption is capable of generating up to 10 Watts of power despite its diminutive appearance and measuring only 9 x 19 x 1.1 cm.

In addition to its compactness, the Solar Paper charger also boasts modular panels that can be connected using embedded magnets. This allows you to connect up to four panels together if you're looking for more power. Moreover, the device can automatically resume charging when it detects sufficient sunlight, meaning you don't have to manually shut it off or restart it if gets cloudy out.

With its combination of compactness and convenience, the Solar Paper looks to be a potential gamechanger as far as solar chargers are concerned.

3. Smart Solar Charging - The automatic resuming of charging when sufficient sunlight is detected in the Solar Paper charger paves the way for more intelligent and efficient solar charging solutions.
Industry Implications

2. Outdoor and Adventure - The portable nature of the Solar Paper charger makes it an ideal solution for outdoor enthusiasts, hikers, campers, and other individuals who rely on portable power sources in remote locations.
3. Sustainable Energy - The Solar Paper charger exemplifies the potential for solar energy to become a mainstream power source, offering disruptive innovation opportunities in the sustainable energy industry.
