Simon Wilby has outdone himself with the invention of The Smart One. It’s a device that destroys the myth that solar power may be environmentally safe but impractical for use in the real world.

Basically, The Smart One can be retrofitted to your cellular phone to make it solar powered. It does not have any unsightly wires or create an obstruction when in use. It actually boosts battery performance. Best of all, it keeps charging even when under an overcast sky or indoors with whatever light is available.

Imagine this technology applied to other portable gadgets. Why stop there? Imagine how much we’d save if our street lights could use stored solar energy to light the way at night. The future is looking a lot greener these days because of Simon Wilby and The Smart One.

Simon Wilby is already hard at work developing other applications for this technology.
