The Volt Solar Charger is a renewable-energy battery pack that attaches to the Apple iPhone and extends the device’s talk time using a built-in solar panel and a 1500 mAh rechargeable battery. The initial manufacturing run of the Volt is compatible with the iPhone 3, iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4. With the Volt’s first production run complete, GSLO will turn its focus to adding more smartphones to that list.

“The iPhone was the obvious choice around which to develop the Volt, and we plan to continue producing Volt Solar Chargers for future models that Apple designs,” said GSLO President and CEO Tyson Rohde. “The smartphone market in the U.S. is growing and diversifying every day, so we feel it’s time to study the potential for solar accessories made for the other top handsets being sold, as well.”

GoSolarUSA will study the economic and technological feasibility of designing Volt Solar Chargers compatible with smartphones such as the HTC Desire, Samsung i9000 Galaxy S, Nokia C7 and others, Rohde said.

“We’ll be comparing things like projected development cost vs. upside profit potential for these smartphone accessories,” he said. “The potential price point, market size, functionality, and ergonomics will all be points of consideration for future development of the Volt.”

GoSolarUSA is dedicated to aggressively acquiring, developing and marketing promising and potentially profitable technology. The Volt Solar Charger is a product of Xiamen Solar Electronics based in Xiamen, China. The iPhone is a product of Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL), which competes in the global mobile electronics market against Motorola Mobility Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: MMI) and Research in Motion (NASDAQ: RIMM).
