5W solar charger powers iPhone 5 in 1.5-2 hours
A 5W solar charger suitable for charging smart phones, tablets, and multi-media players has been introduced by IXYS. Measuring 230mm in length, 160mm in width and 17mm in height, and weighing only 170g, the Solarade is claimed to be the smallest and lightest 5W solar charger on the market.
The charger’s monocrystalline solar panel/module has a high efficiency of 20% and generates a 5V output at 1A. Designed with a 5V built-in regulator, the Solarade is powerful enough to charge at the same speed as a regular wall charger. For example, the device can fully charge the iPhone 5 in 1.5-2 hours.
The maximum charge rate is obtained when the solar panel is perpendicular to direct sunlight. A built-in sun-angle adjuster can be used to position the panel appropriately for the optimum exposure to sunlight. A red LED indicator light will come on when the charger is generating electrical power.
Through an integrated USB port, the Solarade can be connected to mobile devices, using a USB cable. The slim solar charger can be used to charge Apple iPhones, Samsung Galaxy phones and Tabs, iPads, GPS devices, digital cameras, e-readers, video cameras, external batteries, flashlights, and many other electronic gadgets. The Solarade is also suitable for backup DC power to charge batteries and portable equipment for hikers, travellers and off-grid power locations.
