Apple to use Solar Power for Charging its Notebooks and iOS Devices

Apple to use Solar Power for Charging its Notebooks and iOS Devices. A new patent application that was published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) through  AppleInsider  revealed that Apple is thinking to use solar power for charging its mobile devices and notebooks.  The company is looking forward to deliver solar-ready power management system to its upcoming device, by negating  gigantic external converters. Already has numerous solar inventions to its name the company is thinking to  come forward to form a solar power solution that can be made feasible in the near future. The patent is entitled "Power management systems for accepting adapter and solar power in electronic devices,"filled in 2012 by Kisun Lee, Manisha P. Pandya and Shimon Elkayam as its inventors.. According to the patent Apple is not going to fully invest in the solar power solution, instead it will use the existing technologies to start with. In Apple patent the power management is meant to get both power adapter and solar power direct from gathering devices or traditional mains-based chargers. The power management system would comprise a system micro controller (SMC) and a charger. Power would run in the system from either an AC-to-DC adapter or directly from a photovoltaic solar panel's output, which is DC only, then be measured and converted to the necessary voltage.
In other words, you could plug your iPad/iPod adapter, or alternatively hook a MacBook or other piece of hardware directly to a solar panel with a simple cord.
