Sun
Strip is a removable and adhesive strip that applies to any technological piece
of equipment that runs on electricity. As soon as the strip, roughly the size
of a band-aid, is applied to the surface of the piece technology, the internal
energy shifts from electricity to solar energy. With small solar panels, the strip
absorbs the UV rays into the piece of technology. The computer, smart phone,
tablet or mp3 player then stores the energy for future use.
We are perceived to be living
in a day and age where technology makes our lives more efficient and more
simple. Yet, our lives still revolve around the importance of wires and battery
life. Without these two crucial components of technology, the machine simply
becomes another piece of plastic or metal. In other words, a laptop or a smart
phone is only as good as the battery life. As tech-savvy humans, wires,
chargers and available outlets in essence, control our lives.
With the help of a free,
downloaded program, Sun Strip can quickly and easily transform the internal
energy of any device to solar energy. Inexpensive to buy, one Sun Strip can go
a long way where it can be used with up to five different devices. This can
come especially handy during power outages, when one is stranded or simply when
chargers are forgotten at home. Furthermore, it is applicable for college
students who lead busy and cluttered lifestyles, enabling forgetfulness. What
is more, the strip can always be attached to the device. When the owner desires
to switch sources, a button can be clicked to turn on solar energy. The Sun
Strip charges the device at roughly the same rate as a standard charger.
This simple and small strip
of technology has the potential to alter the lifestyle of avid users of
technology and the amount of used electricity. With the help of the sun, energy
production costs can increasingly reduce. Taking the number of technological
devices per person into consideration, energy can be exponentially conserved if
solar energy was widely used. This product is efficient for the user and for
the environment, proving its necessary role in our current and future society.
