As tablets and smartphones are forecast to increase by the end of 2013, so has the demand for portable solar energy products. The solar energy market is thriving, more environmentally friendly smart-device users are buying devices that charge without the use of batteries or other non-renewable energy resources.

According to suntactics.com President Dean Sala, the demand for portable solar energy is bigger than ever from the result of the mobile device trend; “Demand is up, we see a big increase in sales, first year in sales we made close to $260,000, this year we are forecasted to make $750,000 in sales. That’s a big deal for a small company”.

International sales of tablets are expected to grow 67.9 percent, with shipment reaching 202 million units, and smartphone sales are forecast to grow 4.3 percent with a volume of more than 1.8 billion units.— International Business Times

The economy has benefited from the increasing demand for mobile devices, large payment gateways like Paypal see the increase in mobile purchases especially from tablet users. Last year mobile commerce was only 3% of e-commerce [desktop sales], last year the number has risen to 11% according to comScore, and projections of this year could increase to 18%-22%.

Small business like suntactics.com are growing their renewable energy business with the help of the mobile boon, “We see the trend, we’re taking advantage of it.” said suntactics.com President Dean Sala, “the more tablets sell on an international scale, the more people are going to be looking for something that can directly charge their tablets with the sun.” “We are the only company that is capable of direct charging tablets, we have a [solar charger] sCharger-12 out now that can fully charge two iPads at the same time without using batteries.”
