Solar Pocket Factory: Microsolar Revolution In The Making

What happened was, Alex Hornstein and Shawn Frayne determined that microsolar panels – the little PV modules that might charge a smartphone or an iPad, or power a light in a rural village, or run a little radio – are generally crap. As designer/inventors with a crazy love for clean energy, they found this worse than appalling. It was unacceptable.And so there you have the creation story behind the Solar Pocket Factory, a scheme to bring to market an automated machine that can churn out a reliable, long-lasting microsolar panel every 15 seconds, and do it anywhere in the world where there's a market for the products, which, if the product is as good as expected, will be everywhere.The duo has turned to Kickstarter to fund the project. Some Kickstarter projects you know don't have a chance.With the idea of safety in mind, consider guiding the footsteps of China Solar Mp3 player and charger Offers through your garden with a set of these slim solar powered stair lights. Measuring only 1 inch thick and 15.5 inches long, these super bright marker lights can be installed around existing path stones and bricks as a lining but are perfectly suited for tucking into the corners of stairways. Some you know will hit their goal and go shooting past it. The Solar Pocket Factory is one of the latter – last night, just a week into the month-long fundraising period, the project was nearing the $30,000 mark, its $50,000 target well within sight.
It probably won't be a bad thing if they take in more than $50,000. They have much to do."We're trying to do something pretty ambitious: disrupt the billion dollar microsolar industry from a couple of tiny workshops," they write on Kickstarter."It's not going to be easy. Along the way, there'll be breakthroughs, explosions, moments of strife, hope, bizarre discoveries, hard work, tales of social injustice, good people and an awful lot of solar panels….It cables and plugs just need to be suitable together with the device Best Custom Solar laptop charger are going to charge. There are also smaller sized photo voltaic laptop computer chargers like those from the photo voltaic cell phone chargers. These may also be utilized to cost laptops nevertheless it will consider you for a longer time hours for your laptop computer to be charged. We don't know how this will all turn out, but we're making two promises to our backers: we're gonna do everything possible, and then some, to make solar pocket factories real, and we're going to be brutally honest in our writing."
As the guys note in their video, they aren't working in some fancy MIT lab (not now, anyway; they both did go to school there). But it's pretty clear that despite the spartan setup, they're the real thing. Popular Mechanics, in writing about their Kickstarter project, noted that Frayne was a winner of one of the magazine's PM Breakthrough awards in 2007 for an alternative micro wind-power device called the Windbelt.Charles Curtis, CEO of Draker, will be the CEO of the combined company. Ray Burgess, CEO of Solar Power Technologies, will take on the role of President for the combined company. Mr. Burgess has over 30 years of leadership experience in the technology industry, spanning semiconductors, software and micro-mechanical systems. Mr.The invention of LED technology has made a revolution in lighting industry. In solar outdoor lights, China Solar radio and charger Offers can get the full advantage of this technology. The lamps used in the solar lights are all LEDs and hence, you have nothing to think about the replacement of these lights before 6-7 years. On the other hand, the lights are with strong reflectors those are enough to produce excellent brightness. Curtis brings over 20 years of leadership experience in corporate finance and venture-backed growth companies, and over 10 years in renewable energy.
