GSLO received its first batch of the solar-powered iPhone
accessories on Monday from Xiamen Solar Electronics (XSE), the
Chinese developer of the Volt. Last month, GSLO signed a
distribution agreement with XSE that provides GoSolarUSA with the
exclusive right to sell and distribute the Volt in North America,
the world’s largest market for iPhone accessories.
The shipment of demonstration models represents the only Volt
Solar Chargers currently in North America. Upon their arrival,
GoSolarUSA tested the units’ manufacturing quality, functionality,
and durability in order to confirm the Volt’s suitability for the
North American retail marketplace. Having passed all tests, the
Volt has been approved by GSLO for retail buyer demonstrations.
“We’re very pleased with the manufacturing quality of the Volt,
and its functionality is flawless,” said GSLO President and CEO
Tyson Rohde. “We are ready to demonstrate this device for retail
buyers across the continent and move forward with the manufacturer
to bring more units over from China.”
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 that is
compatible with both the iPhone 3 and the iPhone 4. 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.
Those interested in purchasing the Volt can currently make a
