Genesis Electronics to Bring Portable Smartphone Power From the Sun

Today's smartphone users are hungry for more power -- especially
convenient, portable, low-cost, eco-friendly battery charging
solutions. After all, iPhones, BlackBerries and other portable
communications devices always seem to run out of juice at the worst
possible moment. Genesis Electronics, a division of Genesis
Electronics Group, Inc. (OTCBB: GEGI), is well-poised to deliver a
much needed solution to consumers.
"If you've ever walked down an airport concourse looking for an
outlet for your charger or found yourself stuck on the highway with
a 'dead' iPhone, you understand the seriousness of this problem,"
said Edward C. Dillon, CEO, Genesis Electronics Group, whose
Genesis Electronics subsidiary focuses on mobile solar technology.
"Because smartphones in constant use drain their batteries quickly,
many people now also carry a traditional cell phone as a backup
which is cumbersome and inconvenient."
Today, smartphones are more essential -- and more power-hungry
-- than ever. There are countless applications for business,
travel, recreation, social networking and a host of other purposes.
It's not uncommon for a consumer to have 50 to 100 "apps" on their
iPhones and use these "mobile computers" almost 24/7 -- draining
the phone's battery faster than ever.
Fortunately for these smartphone "power users," a new generation
of portable recharging devices is now coming to market, including a
growing array of solar-powered systems. "This highly dynamic energy
sector is driven by demand for easy, sustainable and renewable
solutions," said Dillon.
It's also addressing a rapidly growing global market. A recent
report from Gartner Group estimates that 172 million smartphones
were sold worldwide last year, up 24 percent from 2008
(http://www.gartner.com/it/page.jsp?id=1306513). The report also
noted that smartphones represented 14 percent of total mobile
handset sales last year, up from 11 percent. Smartphones are
becoming more popular with features constantly being added, but
battery and recharging technology has not kept pace, according to a
Computerworld article.

Several U.S. manufacturers now offer recharging systems for
standard cellular phones and smartphones that include both solar
and conventional "quick-charge" options -- an important
consideration since it can take a full day of sunlight for a solar
charger to capture enough energy from the sun's rays to fully
charge a smartphone from "dead" to 100 percent.
Now, Genesis Electronics is in the final stages of development
for the SunBlazer™, a sleek solar recharger that fits on the back
of a smartphone, with a 2x4 inch solar panel that is continually
drawing energy from the sun or any sufficient light source. With
the SunBlazer, Genesis has created an eco-friendly solution that's
powerful enough to fully recharge a "dead" smartphone, and still
have more than a 30 percent reserve remaining for yet another
charge.
"The SunBlazer will allow business travelers, parents, students
and other frequent smartphone users to stay connected without being
tied to an electrical outlet and power cord," said Dillon, who
expects the new solar recharger will be ready for sale to consumers
this summer. "This is a fully portable, form-fitting device for a
smartphone -- users won't even notice it's there."
Genesis developed the SunBlazer as a totally integrated
continuous charging device based on its own patented technology, as
well as patent licenses from Johns Hopkins University Applied
Physics Laboratories for solar powered rechargeable battery
modules.
The SunBlazer's internal circuitry optimizes the conversion of
light into electrical energy, which is stored in a battery that
provides immediate power for the smartphone in mobile
situations.
"This advanced technology also allows the SunBlazer to charge
more quickly than other devices now on the market," said Dillon.
"With its power and portability, the SunBlazer is a true
breakthrough in the recharging concept and an effective application
of renewable energy."
