EnerPlex for Galaxy S III to follow successful debut of EnerPlex for iPhone
August 13, 2012
By: DAVID SAVASTANO
Ascent Solar Technologies, Inc. announced it has launched a charger for the Samsung Galaxy S III smart phone featuring Ascent’s ultra light CIGS technology. Branded under Ascent’s EnerPlex line of consumer products, the charger incorporates the company’s solar cells into a sleek, protective Galaxy S III case, along with an ultra thin battery. The charger adds minimal weight and size to the Galaxy S III, yet provides significantly improved battery life by harnessing sunlight for electric power. Following the successful launch of the EnerPlex for iPhone 4S case, Ascent is releasing the EnerPlex for the Galaxy S III as Samsung continues to introduce new products in a competitive market where the number of smart phones in use globally is expected to reach one billion in the next four years; 144 million smart phones were sold globally in the first quarter of 2012. Ascent is developing the EnerPlex line utilizing its transformational CIGS technology to bring solar enabled power to a variety of new consumer products, such as the widely anticipated next generation iPhone. “The EnerPlex charger is the only protective case for the Samsung Galaxy S III which leverages the lightweight qualities and superior aesthetics of our CIGS solar technology,” said Victor Lee, Ascent Solar’s president and CEO. “It will extend the usage time of the Galaxy S III while preserving the high level of design quality that consumers demand. Samsung customers can now incorporate transformational solar technology into their everyday life, improving the performance of their smartphone without compromising style. “Ascent’s solar powered case designs target the top two market share leaders, Apple, Inc. and Samsung, who together, account for over 70% of the smart phone market,” Lee added. “With the launch of this second product in the EnerPlex line, Ascent now has a solar charger for two of the most popular smart phones on the market, the Apple iPhone and the Samsung Galaxy S III.” The EnerPlex case for the Samsung Galaxy S III will debut in South Korea in October, with an expected launch in the U.S. in time for the 2012 holiday shopping season.
