Ascent Solar Technologies, Inc. announced the debut of the company's newest additions to the Kickr line of personal solar chargers, the EnerPlex Kickr I and II.
Both the Kickr I and II are available to purchase via Ascent's retail locations in the Denver metropolitan area as well as online through www.goenerplex.com.
The Kickr I, with a 1.5 watt output, is ideal for charging batteries and power banks, while the Kickr II is capable of charging most smartphones in under five hours with a 3 watt output. Both the Kickr I and II are lightweight, flexible and compact, allowing for easy attachment to anything imaginable, from a bike to a backpack.
The Kickr line of personal solar chargers is enabled by the flexible, rugged, lightweight and thin form factor of Ascent's proprietary CIGS solar cells. EnerPlex Kickr products are perfect for consumers who desire a robust, durable and rugged charging solution when off the grid, unlike chargers manufactured by competitors using traditional rigid mono-crystalline solar panels which are heavy, fragile and cumbersome.
"The Kickr I and II and the expansion of the Kickr line represents another step forward for Ascent's consumer brand, EnerPlex, as we continue to deliver rugged and innovative solutions to consumers who require the absolute best in portable charging solutions, whether they are working in a remote oil field or summiting a treacherous peak," said Robert Meck, Ascent Solar's vice president of product development.
