Solar powered chargers for your portable gadgets are far from an original idea. But that isn’t to say they aren’t effective or useful. Case in point is Quirky’s Ray.
Unlike other solar powered chargers, which lay flat, the Ray includes a suction cup mount allowing you to optimize and capture the most energy possible. That’s all well and good if your in a vehicle, and super convenient if you’re on a plane (case in point, the pics) but what about for flat surfaces? For that they’ve also built-in in a kickstand that let’s you angle it accordingly, though the suction cup mount is probably optimal in terms of energy collection.
And let’s not overlook portability. The USB cord tucks neatly into the kickstand and a battery means you can recharge at night, which you’ll know is fully charged thanks to an LED status light.
So how much would you pay for this handy gadget? Quirky is a crowd funded project. They want to know how much you’d be willing to pay for this gadget. We’re saying $35. Thoughts? Below is a tally of what Quirky users have said so far.
