Now this makes a lot of sense in this day and age of energy efficient and seeking out alternative energy sources -- using solar power to charge your cell phone.
After taking a look at the specs for Solar Cases that can power the Apple iPhone, a few pop out right off of the page, including a charge time of less than three hours and a weight of less than a quarter of a pound (100 g).
And while it looks simple to use, it actually is.
Here's how it works, using the built-in rechargeable battery in the Solar Case:
1. Insert iPhone into Solar case
2. Turn Power ON, iPhone will be fully charged within < 3 hours
Now, by solar power:
1. Insert iPhone into the Solar case
2. Turn the Power ON
3. PlaceSolar Case under sunlight.
To recharge the Solar Case's built-in battery using AC/DC power:
1. Connect AC/DC Charger to the Solar Case
2. Four power indicators indicate percentage of power charged
Now, by solar power:
1. Turn Power OFF without removing iPhone from the case
2. Place Solar Case under sunlight.
3. Built-in battery will be fully charged within 12 hours
Price: $48.00

maybe soon we will see solar panels on the iphone itself
I got one of those from Solar Arcadia and is totally dead after the first charge. I’m trying to contact them with no success.
If you google it you will find other comments about the same issue.
