Solar panel secured to a portable electronic device

Grant US12580518B1 Kind: B1 Mar 17, 2026

Inventors

Bernard Denson

Abstract

One of the big challenges for anyone who owns a portable electronic device is the need to constantly maintain a charge on the device. Typically, the portable electronic device is sold with a power cord that the user can plug into an outlet of a home or a car. Many users have one power cord for the car and a separate cord for the car so that the user always has the capability to charge the portable electronic device. The current device will charge the portable electronic device using a photovoltaic panel that is attached to the back surface of the portable electronic device with a clip that is either integral to the solar panel or a removable clip in an alternative embodiment.
