Most everyone wants to do their part to save our planet. Cars are becoming more efficient with hybrids and full-electric models, even furnaces now-a-days are super efficient wasting less fossil fuel. What most people don’t realize is that leaving a gadget charger plugged into an outlet, even if the gadget isn’t plugged into it still draws power. This not only trickles down to affect the environment, but also your wallet.
Solar chargers aren’t new, but most people don’t like the idea of having their pricey gadgets sitting in the hot sun. The XDModo plans to change that view. The charger draws solar power through a window where it’s stuck on, and uses the energy to charge up your gadget while is sits safely away from the sun.
The XDModo comes with a standard and micro USB outputs and stores power in a 1400mAh lithium battery – which should be good for a full charge on most smartphones.
You can pick it up for under $70 from Design3000.
