Our solar charger made for the best performance / weight ratio. All chosen electrical components are the best in the market with the highest efficiency. GoSolar is made from second generation photovoltaic cells - copper indium gallium selenide. Advantages of this kind of cells are flexibility and low weight and it can work at low light intensity. It is the best weight and performance ratio ever made for portable solar battery.


Specification 

GoSolar is uniquely light for its performance but you can order even lighter version with carbon fibre case. Thanks to a special feature rarely used in portable solar batteries called Maximum Power Point Tracker, GoSolar charges even in cloudy weather. Built-in battery allows you to store energy from sun or from electricity for later use. Fold it! It's durable and it takes just the  space of your pocket.

We have verified all our suppliers for no part delays. Assembly will be made by us that allow doing quality check at each assembly stage. 

GoSolar case will be made using injection molding which means they might have different tolerances. Certification could make some electric scheme element position changes but we have deal it without any problems previously to pass necessary tests. To make sure we ship out the best product we can, we might make the required adjustments.

Whatever challenges we meet, we will keep you updated. Our main target is to ship the best product in time.
