For the people who do not have enough electric supply, the solar phone helps them to solve this problem. For the communication industry, the solar phone takes a radical change.

It has a great market potential in communication field. There are more than one billion and six hundred million people who do not have enough electric supply all over the world, thirty percent of them own a phone and one billion of them can not get all day electric supply. People who are at the foot of social ladder also need using phone, however, most of them live in poor places that do not have enough electricity. The solar phone has broad market space, because the solar is sufficient and free. When it comes to the battery, the lithium polymer one is ideal. Comparing with the ordinary lithium battery, the lithium polymer battery is harder to explode. This kind of battery had better be processed under high temperature to improve its ability of high temperature high resistance.

The innovation that charging the phone with solar energy seems not difficult to implement, but it will have great significance for the customers in the remote places. Users do not have to worry about power off when they are in the open field. The new technology also brings some advantages, firstly, the great market potential can reach two billion and three hundred million; secondly, the call time will be longer because the utilization of the technology, the profit of the user will increase accordingly. For instance, the call time increased by more or less one minute everyday in Papua New Guinea.

Some research about solar charging shows that eight percent of developers have placed the solar charging on the agenda. In the processing of implement the solar charging, sixty percent of the developers adopt the method that connects the individual and community which are two key points of the solution. The developers widely consider that more research and tests are needed to cut cost. This new technology has entered the market in some developing countries, such as, Papua New Guinea, Madagascar and Kenya. The company in Papua New Guinea has released the new solar phone which is the first low cost solar phone all over the world. This new product implements the connection of solar phone charge and cell phone. The related integrated circuit for solar phone is AP1640.
