Solar Charge for iPhone

MotionTouch, a product design and manufacturing business based at Dunsfold Park in Surrey, has designed and manufactured Powcell, a light-powered mobile phone charger.


The Powcell sleeve slides onto the back of a mobile phone handset and its solar panel uses light to charge the unit making Powcell an environment-friendly product. The sleeve keeps the phone charged reducing the chance of a low battery during calls.

Powcell has an internal battery that is charged by exposure to light, even when the sleeve is removed from the phone - so when reconnected the phone will work even if its battery is exhausted. This means if that if a phone battry has died completely Powcell provides the power for more talk-time.

The initial versions of the Powcell sleeve have been designed for the Apple iPhone series and BlackBerry devices.

Powcell's large solar panel provides the a large surface area for light-capture and also works in some ambient light conditions.

Henry Powell, Client Director of MotionTouch says, "Dispensing with the need for plug-in chargers makes Powcell a ground-breaking eco-product. And the ability to provide power for that crucial call, even when your phone is flat, makes it an essential accessory. We are very excited to have been so involved in this unique product that could change the future of mobile technology."

Chris Simmons, Sales Director of Powcell added, "We've designed the Powcell sleeve to integrate seamlessly with the iPhone 3G and the new 3GS. The unique design shines a light on the future of eco-friendly portable charging solutions. This exciting technology is completely transferable and can be adapted to suit almost all battery operated devices, which has attracted the attention of some of the world's largest consumer electronic manufacturers. We are already planning to integrate this technology into future mobile devices, which will be seen in the very near future."
