]]> Suntactics PC5.Solar charging has been a bit of a novelty for some time now. It can be nice on a bright day, but you need long hours in the sun to really see the benefit from most chargers. A company called Suntactics is hoping to change that with the release of its PC5 unit, a charger the company claims is strong enough to run devices directly.

Suntactics says the difference is that the PC5 pumps higher wattage than competitors, which function more like a battery charging a battery. At five watts, the company says the PC5 doesn’t just charge, it can actually run a device that has no independent battery life left.

I’d really love to see this in action. It could be a very cool breakthrough in solar charging technology.
