Paper Thin Solar Charger

Product Description

New innovations in portable solar technology magnetic solar panel connections: Unlike other chargers which have fixed connections between panels which tend to experience wear and tear (and therefore lose efficiency), solar paper's magnetic connections reduce wear and tear to an absolute minimum. In addition, they enable very easy charger upgrades: Simply click in two additional panels to achieve an increased capacity of 5w. With all other options, you'd have to buy an entirely new device. Lcd screen: For solar paper, we've included an lcd amp meter that shows exactly how much current is flowing from the charger to your device at any time. We wouldn't include this lcd if we were not absolutely confident about our technology and our product. No false advertising. No false promises. Also, by monitoring the current display on the lcd screen you can ensure the best possible angle for faster charging. Dramatically improved design: Until now, solar chargers have either been bulky and heavy or inefficient. 'Solar paper' is a design revolution in the portable solar charger market. As well as being more efficient and robust enough for the outdoor market, the charger weighs only 4oz and is super portable. YOLK is an innovative solar power company. We recently launched "solar paper, the world's thinnest and lightest solar charger" and got funded over $1 million dollars. With our highly advanced technology, solar energy will not be limited for users that enjoy outdoor activities. Our goal is bringing solar technology into everyone's daily life.

Features

• SUPER PORTABLE: Solar Paper is only 1/3 of weight and 1/8 of volume compared to competitors.
• LOOKS FANTASTIC: innovative design with gold plated solar panels.
• Fast charging time: Charge iPhone 6 within 2.5 hours. Solar Paper uses the most efficient solar panels available on the consumer market.
• EXPANDABLE USING MAGNETS: If you need to charge larger devices, you can simply add additional panels.
• AUTO RESET TECHNOLOGY: Users don't have to unplug and replug the cable every time a cloud passes overhead or you walk through a shadow. This is very inconvenient. We wanted to make Solar Paper as easy as possible for anyone to use, so we have integrated ‘auto-comparison technology’ into the charger, to make it automatically resume powering your devices, after the sun starts soaking it again.

Overheats in the sun
by John Dickinson (1 out of 5 stars)

I really wanted to like this product. It was exactly what I've been looking for in a backpacking solar charger. Compact, lightweight, simple to use. I was willing to pay the high price to meet all my requirements. However, the Solar Paper just didn't fit the bill. The panels were simple to connect and the magnetic connectors are a genius idea. I setup the system and placed it in the sun to see how long it would take to charge my iPod. After 10 minutes i looked and (in full sun) i felt it was going slowly, but understand with anything there are limitations. Progress was being made so i was patient. 10 minutes later i checked and the LCD display (very small and difficult to see) was completely black and all charging had stopped. My only conclusion is that the system overheated. The next day, everything seemed ok so i reassembled the charger and tried again. After 10 minutes everything was black and not charging. So, a solar charger that tends to overheat in the sun seems like a serious design flaw to me. I hope a system like this is developed someday. Until then, i suppose I'll have to settle for larger, bulkier options to charge my batteries in the backcountry!

Was an early adopter of the Solar Paper 5w. I've used it on a number of occasions to charge my phone after a storm while waiting for the power to be restored. It's been a life saver a few times while out and about and needed a charge. When not in use it's in my backpack just in case I need it.

Solar Paper by Yolk does not work.

I was one of the Kickstarter backers of Solar Paper. The product stinks. Even in full sunlight, my iPhone 5s DISCHARGES when plugged into a 4-panel Solar Paper. Do not buy.

Good but way overpriced.

Way overpriced. Other chargers with similar efficiency are priced much less. Overhyped.

Works well with some adjustments.

The product is durable and very lightweight. It did not charge my phone well. The power flow fluctuates and can even drain my phone's charge (especially where the shade is shifting in the westering sun). I learned to charge a small battery pack (like my Bluetooth earphones and battery pack, which I carry with me anyhow) and then plug my phone into the battery. Worked great. I have my solar paper hanging from my pack and charging my battery while I hike and take pictures with my phone. Then I can charge at night. I like it. It's so handy to carry with me.

Outperforms the specification!!

I received this as a Father's Day gift. It is so unique is this day and age to promise less and deliver more. That's exactly what Yolk has done. I live in Sothern California so there is no lack of sun.

Always use the included silicon hinges they add no real weight and keep the panels together quite well.

In good sun it charged my iPhone in less than 3 hours, it has a great auto restart feature that doesn't interrupt the charge.

Extra panels are available to increase the voltage.

This maybe the lightest most efficient panels I own.
