Can solar panels charge the phone?

It’s hard to use a cell phone battery for a day after charging, which is why many people carry a small charger with them. However, although the small device advocates "portable", it is actually very heavy and inconvenient. Because of this, Chicago engineers will design ultra-thin, ultra-light solar panels called "Solar Paper", which can fully charge the iPhone in just 2 hours. We can also combine multiple panels to speed up the charging.

  Developed by Chicago Yolk, Solar Paper has already raised $1 million through Kickstarter and is available to users worldwide. There are three versions of Solar Paper, 5W, 7.5W and 10W, which you can choose based on the output power of your device. The 5W charger is priced at $148.

  Three different versions of the charger are combined with a 2.5W panel. A 2.5W panel can fully charge the iPhone 6 or Galaxy S3 in 5 hours. The 5W version can also charge the same device, but the charging time is reduced to 2 hours. If there is a cloud in the sky, it will take 3 hours.

  The 7.5W version is the same as the 5W version, but if there is a cloud in the sky, it will charge faster. There are small holes in the corners of the solar panels that users can hang on their backpacks for easy outdoor adventures. If you want to charge the tablet, such as charging the iPad Air 2, it is better to use the 10W version, and it takes 4.5 hours to fully charge. The panels are connected by magnets and can be folded.

  Each panel measures approximately 3.5 x 6.7 x 0.6 inches (9 x 17 x 1.5 cm) and weighs 60 grams and is 1.5 millimeters thick. The charger has an automatic reset function. When the charger enters the shadow zone or is placed in the sun, it will automatically charge or stop charging. Other solar charging devices do not have such a function. There is also a low-energy LCD screen on the charger that shows the amount of power generated by Solar Paper in real time.

  Yolk explains: “We have the world's top technology that allows solar panels to have high charging efficiency. That is to say Solar Paper is more efficient than other solar panels of the same size. Traditional solar chargers require you to rewire If you always want to check, it is very annoying to plug in the cable. Solar Paper technology can solve this problem. The charger is programmed to reset the device when the sun is sufficient, so that the power generation is more efficient and the current is more. stable."
