  • Mobile device solar powered charging apparatus, method, and system
    Patent number: 9425648
    Abstract: Apparatus, methods, and systems are described for a solar powered charger that is configured for charging a mobile device using solar panels or solar technology. The solar powered charger conditions the solar power into a form that is suitable for charging a mobile device. The charger controls the charging, may provide useful user feedback, and may provide for device selection. The charger may also comprise a storage bank and a way to control it, such that, power may be stored up for later use when desired.
