GSLO initiated the mass production of the Volt Solar Charger
late last month in preparation for the device’s hotly anticipated
North American debut. The Volt is a new smartphone accessory
designed to extend the Apple iPhone’s battery life using a
top-of-the-line, built-in solar panel and a 1500 mAh rechargeable
battery. Upon its arrival, the Volt will go on sale bundled with a
one-year warranty.
“We’re ready to receive that first shipment of units and get
them in the hands of iPhone users,” Rohde said. “The number of
iPhone users in North America is exploding, and we’re anticipating
high consumer demand for the Volt Solar Charger.”
In January, GoSolarUSA signed a distribution agreement with the
Volt’s Chinese developer, Xiamen Solar Electronics (XSE), giving
GSLO the exclusive right to sell and distribute the device in North
America, the world’s largest market for iPhone accessories. A month
later, the company approved samples of the device and finalized the
Volt’s retail packaging.
With Apple doing phenomenal business in recent months and demand
for smartphone accessories at an all-time high, Rohde said the
first shipment of Volt Solar Chargers to reach American shores may
not last long.
“We’ve done everything we can to get the Volt over here as
quickly as possible without rushing through the development
process,” Rohde said. “Thousands of reservations have poured into
our Web site, leading us to believe that our initial manufacturing
run is going to be gobbled up quickly.”
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. To enter, please visit
