Global Solar Energy has introduced two versions of universal serial bus (USB) enabled SUNLINQ portable solar chargers. Global Solar Energy is a leading producer of Copper Indium Gallium diSelenide (CIGS) thin film solar products. You can charge any kind of mobile electronic device that is capable of charging through a USB interface.

The two portable solar chargers, SUNLINQ USB Mini and SUNLINQ USB Plus, are provided with high-efficiency flexible solar cells. The products are reliable and capable of charging any device with a USB port such as electronic reader Kindle, PDAs and iPods. These products deliver charges directly into the devices through the USB port unlike other models of solar chargers that depend on an integrated battery to store energy. Direct charging of the devices is not only efficient but also faster.

To meet the USB charging specifications, these chargers provide 5 V output. These lightweight portable solar chargers have the capability to provide power even under cloudy conditions.

Global Solar builds chargers that meet military standards so you know that they will withstand outdoor adventure conditions.  The Sunlinq USB chargers even have an SAE-2-prong trailer plug that is water-resistant. Whether you carry them on your back or in your hands.

From solar charging your GPS to charging four AA batteries, the difference between the Sunlinq Mini and the Sunlinq Plus is about two hours.

The SUNLINQ USB Mini and SUNLINQ USB Plus bring a host of features and capabilities for the mobile consumer and professional, including:

Extremely Portable: Global Solar’s lightweight, flexible solar cells mean the charger itself can be laid out or attached to better optimize sunlight and make for easier carrying.

Rugged Design: Originally designed to meet military specs, all of Global Solar Energy’s portable chargers offer a tough, weather resistant, nylon rip-stop backing.

Voltage Regulation: Standardized to 5V to meet USB charging specifications.

High Efficiency: SUNLINQ portable chargers power even under cloudy or overcast skies, making it the ideal solar charger for any region or outdoor activity.
