A set of solar powered window blinds that will charge your iPods, iPads, iPhones and other USB connected items! Save on energy costs!

Submitted by: Brandon Craven

The Problem

These window blinds will solve the problem of energy drain and electric bill costs all over America. Most cell phone chargers draw a consistent electrical current from your outlets during the day, and most folks don't take the time to unplug them. With this product, why bother? You are drawing your energy from the Sun's rays, while helping conserve the environment!

The Solution

My solution involves using a series of separated solar panels in the form of window blinds. These would connect to some sort of hub, either attached or below via a power cable. They would charge a battery located somewhere within either unit (in order to provide a consistent supply of charge to the attached items. I also propose some type of failsafe switch that will deactivate the unit if an insufficient charge is present.

Key Features

  • It is unique, I cannot find any sort of comparison on the market.
  • It solves a common problem in an eco-friendly manner

Product Comparison

  • I cannot find any sort of legit competitor.
