Nokia has completed their solar phone tests

Nokia has presented the results to the tests made ​​with their mobile phones equipped with solar panels. Unfortunately the result is not favorable to find models with this type of attachment.

The cell used is a modified version of the C1-02 (the picture shows another variation of the C1, very similar to that used in the tests). The mobile units were sent, with solar panels on the back, for many people around the world for testing during the daily use of the device. As expected, the results were better in areas of high sun exposure, other places with lower intensity of sunlight to charge gadget suffered.

Nokia also had trouble with people who charge into and out of enclosed spaces such as offices. In these cases the solar panel had no utility. Even with negative results, which gave up the possibility of finding cell panels on the shelves. Nokia did not end their research to find sustainable ways to charge their mobile phones. A most viable solution is an external battery that could be loaded in this way.
