Well, atleast if we are running late for office and have forgotten to charge our phone and don’t have a car charger,lol, we can just place this phone under the wind shield to be charged..:p. But, we really need such renewable sources of energy and I hope to see the most advanced mobile models equipped with solar batteries soon.
