Utilizing solar energy enables all of us to “get off the grid” and take advantage of the free, clean power of the sun. We are on a mission to both promote solar energy awareness and to offer sustainable solutions for today’s portable electronic devices. We believe that everyone can make a positive difference for our planet. If we take small steps to help our environment, we will make monumental progress towards a clean, green future.

Our popular Surge for the iPhone and iPod is one of those green portable electronic devices that we have created to as a sustainable solution for a green tomorrow. Below is a short list of just some of the ways the Surge is the greenest iPod and iPhone portable solar charger.

1. Of course the large solar solar panels on the back of the Surge use sunlight to power your iPod and iPhone!
2. Solar Arcadia (our online store) contributes 2% from every product sold to renewable energy research and development.
3. By using the built-in USB plug to charge your Surge you are using less energy than if you were to plug it directly into the wall.
4. An advanced lithium-ion polymer battery cell technology prevents overcharging and energy waste.
5. Many of our employees telecommute to work which saves gas and produces less pollutants by not driving.
6. Here at the Novothink headquarters we recycle our waste products and work in a low paper consumption environment.

We strongly believe that we are all responsible for nurturing, protecting, and respecting our planet and its natural resources, and that through our efforts we are making a difference and improving lives today and for those of future generations.
