You will have seen that from time to time we like to spend Kickstarters the web, where we can find new and interesting projects or devices. One of these is the SolMate, a solar charger for iPhone, along with its corresponding “solar cover”. The project has not yet reached the amount needed to be realized, $ 30,000, about 23,000 euros, but more than likely get over in the month that is left for support.

SolMate includes an internal battery 1600 mAH designed by Adam and Jamie Wojcik Benzion. This ability to triple the current iPhone battery, which will give us peace in the absence of outlets. The cover includes a solar panel to capture sunlight optimized even when not exposed to direct sunlight.

The construction of SolMate is quite robust, since it is made from aluminum and a special glass. Its thickness does not much bigger in our iPhone, although it will be visible. This charger is compatible with the iPhone 4 and 4S.

According to the company:

“SolMate ingeniously developed a system of microelectronics, which has a chip inductive load Qi, a solar cell efficiency to 18% and as a battery Li-Ion. This combined with a proper application for IOS, offers a unique experience for portable devices. “

As stated above, the project has not yet reached its minimum level of funding, but if you liked, it is recommended that you should do a hole in your wallet and you succeed by $ 99 worth, about 75 euros. The probability of success is quite high.
