Suncore’s NovaCell Solar Charger

NovaCell

With the average consumer becoming more mobile than ever, the worry of depleting battery life on iPods, cell phones, or other portable devices may soon become a distant memory. Suncore, a leader in self-charging solar solutions, has developed a new product called NovaCell; a portable, pocket-sized, solar charger for your portable device granting its users greater freedom.

Suncore, founded in 2004, is currently based out of Irvine, California where it produces solar-charged batteries for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), operators and distributors. They believe the future of energy lies with the sun and they aim to use it to increase energy’s levels of accessibility and efficiency to unprecedented heights.

Portable solar charging is not a new innovation, but perhaps it will finally garner the attention it deserves. Given the recent trend of the increasingly mobile consumer and their ever-growing guilty, green conscience, Suncore has combined both into one slim, energy-efficient solution.

The charger goes from empty to full in a little over four hours under normal lighting conditions while direct sunlight accelerates this process. It also has tremendous energy capacity for its size, capable of fully charging an iPod twice before needing to recharge itself. Additionally, its ability to do a continuous charge makes this device even more versatile. If the charger ever runs empty while a device still requires charging it will continuously charge while harnessing energy from the sun, essentially turning your cell phone or iPod into a solar-powered device.

Touted as having universal adaptability, the Novacell can be packaged by itself or along with any type of mobile device or service. Best of all, the charger captures free energy, energy we take for granted every day and pays for itself in a year. The same light that gives plants life can finally do the same for your iPod.
