Sharp slings out industry’s thinnest solar modules for cellphones

Posted on 26 May 2009 by

Timely, no? Just a month after Sharp aided in producing the planet’s first waterproof solar cellphone, the aforementioned outfit has just announced the industry’s thinnest solar module for handsets. Checking in at just 0.8 millimeters thick, the LR0GC02 shouldn’t take up too much space on your daughter’s great-granddaughter’s smartphone, and while Sharp isn’t handing over too many details just yet, we figure it’ll pretty much do what it says. You know — charge the handset it’s integrated into whenever sunlight is available. As for when we’ll see these in cellphones everywhere? Take a wild guess, tree-hugger.
