Solar Power Station Claims to Charge Your Phone at Outlet Speeds

A new tool uses the power of the sun to charge up your electronic devices.

The SunVolt Solar Power Station is a portable charging platform that will convert the sun's rays into an outlet-free charger for your phone, tablet or digital camera. On a clear day, the station can charge multiple devices as fast as if they were plugged into a wall, according its Kickstarter page.

In a promotional video, creator Don Cayelli recommends using the SunVolt on camping trips, at the beach or as an emergency power source.

A SunVolt Power Station Charging Kit includes one 10 or 15 watt monocrystalline solar panel, a custom carrying case, a power regulation circuit and multiple charging ports.

So far, the tool has raised nearly half of its $30,000 goal on Kickstarter, which will fund the first production run.
