2 Innovations in Portable Power That Will Keep Your Phone from Ever Running Out of Battery

International CES is a great place to see and try plenty of new tech. We saw a number of impressive advancements (Toyota FCV! The LG Flexible OLED TV!). But you know us; we’re most excited by leaps forward in portable power. And if it uses solar technology, even better. Naturally, we were interested in learning more about Goal Zero’s Street Charge.

In the summer of 2013, Goal Zero partnered with AT&T to install a series of solar powered charging stations in various parts of New York City. The stations are equipped with solar panels on top to store massive amounts of power that can be used to charge phones.

What about the rest of the time we’re at our home base in Colorado, though? Or just not in that part of NYC? Or we don’t want to stand outside in the cold to use solar power (hello, polar vortex)? That’s what our very own DUO-Flex is for. It’s a pair of flexible solar panels and a battery pack for portable power. Charge it from the Sun at home or on the go. The DUO-Flex is perfect for setting out on car dashboards. Then slide the fully charged battery into your bag or coat pocket and take it wherever you want – even NYC.

With the freedom to go anywhere with the DUO-Flex, you don’t need to worry about running out of power no matter where you are in the world.

Does Your Non-Profit Need to Invest in Portable Solar Power?

The simple answer is yes! Solar power is the smart way to power your non-profit. Solar power utilizes the energy from the sun to power your devices, all while conserving the environment and saving you money. As a non-profit organization, you may worry about the up-front costs of alternative energy options. At AspectSolar, however, you can find the perfect solar electricity applications for your non-profit that won’t break your bank.

Solar generators allow you to take energy everywhere you go. Many non-profit organizations are always on the move, so in order to reduce energy usage and costs, it helps to have solar energy always at your fingertips. All AspectSolar products use cutting-edge technology to utilize the sun to your advantage. Our devices are equipped with Sun-tracking technology, which allows you to convert maximum amounts of sun energy to electricity, while keeping a constant charge throughout your day. If your non-profit builds houses for the needy, for example, the Sun-tracking technology will allow you to have a power source for multiple days at a time.

In addition to Sun-tracking technology, AspectSolar products have monocrystalline solar cells. These cells are the best available solar cell technology because they allow you to have the most power and charge while taking up the least amount of space. This is particularly advantageous to non-profits, who often don’t have a lot of space to spare. Our products are also made with a lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) battery, which is the best portable battery available. LiFePO4 batteries have a long life span, can be recharged multiple times, and are lightweight. These batteries are also useful for storage during long periods of time.

Portable energy sources are not only great for your bank; they’re great for your community. Non-profits who use solar power energy are improving their communities and our world. Contact AspectSolar today for more information!  

ENERGYBAR 250 for CPAP Owners

Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) is a treatment most commonly used for people suffering from sleep apnea. CPAP machines work to keep airways open by providing air to the user through a tube and mask. CPAP machines prevent your airway from collapsing, allowing you to have a restful sleep. When using a CPAP machine, traveling may cause stress because you aren’t sure how to power your machine. Eliminate the stress of using your machine while traveling or at home by powering your CPAP with the ENERGYBAR 250, one of the most powerful and portable battery packs on the market.

Many CPAP machines are equipped with a humidifier, causing them to draw more power. With the ENERGYBAR 250, you can use your CPAP even with the humidifier in place. Without the humidifier, you receive an estimated 24 hours of power; with the humidifier, you can sleep undisturbed for 6 hours. Many users that utilize their humidifier chose to use two ENERGYBAR 250s connected together to get more than 6 hours of rest. The ENERGYBAR 250 fully recharges every day with 6 to 9 hours of sunlight. Just add the EP-55 portable solar panels to charge the ENERGYBAR 250 and provide you with unlimited multi-night power!

The ENERGYBAR 250 gives you freedom back by allowing you to go anywhere! Many people with sleep apnea feel that they can’t sleep anywhere except their house without worrying about their airways collapsing, but with the portable power available from the ENERGYBAR 250, you won’t have to worry anymore. A slim, lightweight design allows you to take it and your CPAP machine with you while flying, traveling, or camping. 

You don’t have to give up you mobility when using a CPAP machine powered by the ENERGYBAR 250. Have a restful night knowing that your one of the most portable and powerful battery packs in the world is powering your CPAP machine.

The Secretary of Commerce Drops by Our CES Booth – And Is Proud of the Results

International CES 2014 has come and gone this week. You may have heard of it from our blog, Facebook page, or the news. In addition to the curved OLED TVs, 3D printing machines, and personal health monitoring, portable power was a hot topic at this year’s show. We did, after all, get honored by the CES Innovation Awards in that category. We had visitors from all sorts of industries dropping by our booth to see the one-of-a-kind SunSocket Solar Generator; visitors like U.S. Secretary of Commerce Penny Pritzker.

Secretary Pritzker was on a mission to visit the small handful of companies attending the show that met certain requirements. She wanted to show support for American brands based in a single state that manufactured domestically and exported internationally. AspectSolar was one the few honored companies (that’s two times we’d been honored so far at CES). For fifteen minutes, Secretary Pritzker and our CEO, Esmond Goei, chatted about where the company’s been and where we’re going. Needless to say, the future looks bright with her blessing.

We had a few other interesting visits and we expect to have a few interesting follow-up meetings. International CES 2014 was a productive week for us! Expect to see AspectSolar products available through more retailers and online distributors this year. That’s all we can say for now.

Thanks, Las Vegas, for an amazing journey! Luckily, news from International CES is the one thing that happens in Vegas and doesn’t stay there. You’ll be seeing a lot more of us soon. We promise to bring even more exciting innovation to next year’s show.

ASPECTSOLAR EQUIPS SKIING EVEREST EXPEDITION

MAROLT BROTHERS USE SOLAR POWER TO FEND OFF FROSTBITE, DOCUMENT JOURNEY

LAFAYETTE, Colorado, December 30, 2013

Portable solar power innovator AspectSolar is pleased to announce their sponsorship of Mike and Steve Marolt, the 8000m (8K) descent skiers behind the 2009 documentary Skiing Everest. After a tour of festivals, ESPN bought the film in 2011 for a series of primetime broadcasts. The brothers, their friend Jim Gile, and Ski Channel owner Steve Bellamy are gearing up for the follow-up series, Beyond Skiing Everest. To film their expeditions, the Skiing Everest team relies on the best equipment available for their movie, and for their survival. Naturally, the powerful lightweight batteries and portable solar panels of AspectSolar were the perfect fit.

For their new documentary, the Marolt brothers and Gile aim to show the challenge and beauty found in some of the world’s lesser-known peaks. Despite the commercialization of Everest and other famous mountains, a sometimes more enjoyable experience can be found on summits with fewer expeditions. For their goal in Beyond Skiing Everest, the Marolt brothers want as few people as possible on the mountain. They are attempting to be the first crew to ski down from a 7K+ summit in winter. They’ve spent the last few years preparing for their January 2014 expedition to Muztagh Ata, a mountain in China along the Tibetan Plateau.

With temperatures plummeting below -50°F in the winter, Mike searched for the most reliable heated in-soles and the best portable batteries to power them with. These are the “golden gadgets” – gear that puts the expedition’s lofty goals safely within their reach. Along with powering their film equipment, an electrical source is needed to recharge the heated in-soles and fend off frostbite. AspectSolar is sponsoring the crew with two each of the EnergyBar 250 and EP-55 solar panels, all made with the same technology as their CES Innovation Award-winning SunSocket Solar Generator. Marolt’s previous experience with solar power on an expedition involved heavy, cumbersome solar panels and inefficient car batteries.

“It will completely revolutionize expeditions,” Mike says of AspectSolar’s products, engineered in Singapore. “Outside of technical gear, it is the coolest gadget we’ve ever come across. Our last batteries took two or three days to charge, and they lasted a fraction of the time.” The crew was enthusiastic about the potential of their new gear and what it meant for mountaineering. “This is the first device with the potential to take a power source to higher camps. That’s unheard of.”

If the Marolt expedition successfully manages to ski down from Muztagh Ata, not only will it be the world’s first ski descent from a 7K+ peak in winter, it will also be the first winter ascent of the mountain. Though famed for being an “easy” 7K, the brutal winter temperatures of Muztagh Ata make it dangerous for the inexperienced. Beyond Skiing Everest will open the door to winter ascents and ski descents, and AspectSolar’s technology will make the film possible and the journey safer thanks to award-winning, portable solar power.
