This is a simpledevice that uses solar energy for charging mobile phones via USB port, it is very useful if your phone need's recharging in a place where there   is no electricity or if you are on a  camping trip this is a great gadget for recharging phone batery.
I did not put a spare battery in case you can not rely on the sun's energy and it would be good to put two rechargeable AA batteries so that they can recharge the phone battery.
