GoSolarUSA (PinkSheets: GSLO) announced today that it has
created an online waiting list that will allow consumers to reserve
the company’s Volt Solar Charger for purchase once the device goes
on sale.

iPhone fans can now visit GoSolarUSA.com, enter an e-mail
address and other contact information and expect to be notified
first when the Volt Solar Charger becomes available for purchase in
North America.
"We’ve had success before with offering customers the
opportunity to reserve electronics products using online waiting
lists," Rohde said. "The list helps assure consumers that they’ll
be notified as soon as a new product goes on sale and that they’ll
have access to special pricing on the item. Since our soft launch
of the Volt waiting list, we’ve already received hundreds of
reservations, so we know that demand is high for this product."
The Volt Solar Charger is an external battery pack that attaches
to the iPhone and extends its battery life using a top-of-the-line,
built-in solar panel. The Volt is capable of harvesting solar
energy to charge all versions of the Apple iPhone with the same
device. By capturing free, renewable solar power, the Volt
recharges the iPhone’s battery first before charging its own
internal battery, nearly doubling the smartphone’s talk time. The
Volt includes a larger battery than many competitors and is the
only iPhone battery pack known to the company to include a
reception corrector. Last Wednesday, GSLO announced that the first
shipment of Volt demonstration models to reach North America is
expected to arrive by the end of this week.
To encourage potential customers to reserve a Volt Solar Charger
before they go on sale, GoSolarUSA will give away a Volt to 100
randomly selected people who sign up for the device's waiting list
with no purchase necessary.
"These lucky few will receive the most advanced solar battery
pack available for the iPhone absolutely free," Rohde said. “We’re
obviously very proud of this technology, and we can’t wait to show
it off to the public.”
Earlier this month, GoSolarUSA announced that the company
acquired the exclusive North American distribution rights to the
Volt Solar Charger when it signed a distribution agreement with
Xiamen Solar Electronics (XSE), the Chinese developer of the Volt.
North America is the world’s largest market for iPhone
accessories.
The deal is only the latest development in the growing
relationship between GSLO and XSE. GoSolarUSA also announced last
week that it signed a profit participation agreement with XSE that
entitles GSLO to a percentage of XSE’s future net profits
worldwide.
GoSolarUSA is dedicated to aggressively acquiring, developing
and marketing promising and potentially profitable technology. The
Volt Solar Charger is a product of Xiamen Solar Electronics based
in Xiamen, China. The iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4 are products of Apple
Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL), which competes in the global smartphone market
against Google’s (NASDAQ: GOOG) Android devices and the Research in
Motion (NASDAQ: RIMM) BlackBerry line.
