Using Methi, Vestre and Einberger new breed of solar charger, keeping energy-hungry smartphones or tablets going all day at the beach, music festivals or picnics in the park is easier than ever. The smart-looking device is equipped also with a high capacity internal battery, which means you can store solar power for later and give any tablet another full charge after sunset. According to the team as long as the sun is out, the Solartab will always charge at maximum efficiency. To keep this promise, they not only increased the solar panel size way beyond what youl find on the average portable solar charger on the market today, but also included an inventive built-in cover. The unique cover not only gives the Solartab a stunning and nostalgic look, but also works as a stand for the solar panel, which lets users angle the solar panel in three different positions. After adjusting the angle to the sun current position, all that left to do is plug in any smartphone or tablet and let nature take care of the rest. Oh and the cover will also protect the Solartab while it tucked away in bags, on the way between beaches and parks. Making sure the charger premium look won be compromised with scratches or stains. Making green energy truly accessible to design-conscious, young people with an active lifestyle, it no wonder that the Solartab team have struck crowdfunding gold on kickstarter. com.
