GSLO Expects Booming iPhone Sales to Drive Demand for Volt

Business Wire
GoSolarUSA (PinkSheets:GSLO) President and CEO Tyson Rohde said
Tuesday that the company expects booming sales of Apple’s iconic
iPhone to generate huge demand for accessories, including the Volt
Solar Charger.
For the quarter ending in December, Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) reported
sales of 16.24 million iPhones, helping the electronics giant to
rack up $6 billion in profits. Due to the announcement this month
that the iPhone 4 will be available on the Verizon (NYSE:VZ)
Wireless network for the first time beginning in February, some
analysts predict that Apple could reach as many as 19 million
iPhone activations this quarter and sell as many as 63 million of
the industry-leading smartphones this year.
“It’s fair to say that Apple blew away expectations for its last
quarter, due in large measure to strong sales of the iPhone,” Rohde
said. “With the iPhone coming to the Verizon network, we’re quite
confident that sales of the device will continue to grow. An
unbelievable market is developing for iPhone accessories, and
GoSolarUSA is poised to capitalize on it with the Volt Solar
Charger.”
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.
Earlier this month, GoSolarUSA signed a distribution agreement
with Xiamen Solar Electronics (XSE), the Chinese developer of the
Volt, giving GSLO exclusive North American distribution rights for
the device. North America is the world’s largest market for iPhones
and iPhone accessories.
“The average selling price for the iPhone 4 is $625,” Rohde
said. “It’s a powerful electronic tool that represents a
substantial investment being made by millions across the continent.
We believe many of these iPhone users will also jump at the chance
to invest in the Volt.”
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. In order to charge the Volt Solar Charger
after sunset, a USB cable will also be included with the device.
Manufactured in red, black and white, the Volt will soon go on sale
bundled with a one-year warranty.
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 is a product of Apple Inc. which
competes in the global mobile electronics market against Motorola
Mobility Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:MMI) and Research in Motion
(NASDAQ:RIMM).
