QuickerTek CIGS 62 W Solar Juicz charger powers Apple products

Apple MacBook Pro, Retina display and MacBook Air users now have the freedom solar power offers and the satisfaction of lowering the carbon footprint
QuickerTek, a provider of mobile power and wireless networking products to Apple computers, has revealed a 62 Watt (W) Solar Juicz solar power charger.

The company claims its new, higher performance solar charger is faster and packs more power in a smaller size.

QuickerTek believes it has improved efficiency of more than 39 percent over the previous Solar Juicz model as a direct result of using new technology as well as a philosophy of continual improvement.

Faster charge time is provided by higher wattage (62 W vs 55 W of the previous model).

What's more, users can charge the laptop battery while using the Solar Juicz at the same time - something not always possible using other solar products. If you have sunlight, you have power, whenever you need it.

Solar Juicz users gain 1.5 to 2 times greater power than more common thin-film flexible solar materials, by using CIGS technology. The product yields a 10.5 to 11 percent average efficiency - ideal for power on the go.

The firm says there is no other CIGS technology solar product available for any Apple device.

MacBook users can now spend even more time working away from the wall power outlet. Even if the laptop battery is completely dead, the Solar Juicz charges and powers the MacBook laptop simultaneously.

The latest product also comes ready to use right out of the box with either a Apple Magsafe 1 or a Apple Magsafe 2 power cable. This allows users to power and charge a wide variety of mobile devices from Apple.

Solar Juicz also charges QuickerTek's extensive line of Apple Juicz external battery products.

QuickerTek says it also regularly makes custom cables for users who need the convenience of solar power for other devices, such as digital still and video cameras.

The solar panel itself is flexible - allowing for easy transport and use. The higher efficiency technology is only 1534 square inches - 40 percent more compact than the previous 2478 square inches. The lighter and flexible solar panel also adapts to irregular surfaces better - providing an easy way to use the sun, regardless of the surroundings.

The 62 W Juicz has a reduced retail price of $999 and is available from QuickerTek's global dealer network. The new Solar Juicz module is backed with a one-year warranty on parts and labour.
