Solar cell electronics charger

Solar cell electionics chargers are small mobile cell phone and mp3 chargers. These work as a supplement to original chargers that needs electricity output.

This can be an alternative to original chargers if you are fare away from civilization or if you just want to be able to charge your electronic device anywhere.

This chargers fit almost any kind of small electronic device that uses an ordinairy USB-cable. The charger is small and light and can be used places where there is no electricity.

If your battery is dead, this can be used as an emergency charger and could possibly save  lives.

I think this product or a similar product will be adopted by many people, but not everyone.

For expected or unexpected survival situations this can be used as an emergency charger for a cellphone to call for help, or a GPS to find your current location. That is why I think this charger will be adopted by people who love the outdoors, and people who just have a general interest for gadgets.

Relative Advantage:

You do not need access to electricity, it is charged by the sun alone.

The charger is relatively small, but might be a bit big for pockets.

You can use both a cigarette and a USB-wire. This makes it useable for most of the new phones, but useless for older models.

The charger fits most products that are compatible with USB.

It is charged by sunlight which is a plus if it´s sunny, but can be a problem if it is clouded. Charging at night is not possible.

Some of the chargers have built-in batteries which makes it possible to charge your

battery, save the power and save it for another time.

It is also more «eco-friendly» than an ordinairy charger.

Compatibility:

This phone charger is not for everyone. If you are very passionate about the outdoors, like hiking or just beeing «eco-friendly» this charger might be something for you.

In my opinion it looks a little «dorky», but it might be a hit with people who are in to gadgets.

Observability

If you´re going hiking and get lost, this charger might improve your chanses of survival. You get the feeling that this could be quite useful if you get lost and your cellphone battery dies.

Complexity:

The charger seems to be very easy to use and understand. Plug in your cellphone og Mp3-player and start charging.

Trialability:

It is quite easy for a salesman to demonstrate to a customer how the charger works. One can just go outside the store and plug it into a cellphone as long as it´s sunny outside. Even it the weather is not optimal, the customer will still get a picture of how it works.

Adaptability:

These chargers are not just limited to cellphones, but can also be used to similar USB-charged products like e-readers, Mp3-players and GPS.

As long as new electronic products can be charged using a USB-wire, this charger will be useful. The solar cell products can easily be changed and modified for different purposes.
