Ascent Solar Technologies, Inc. announced the availability of its EnerPlex Surfr for the Galaxy S4 across the company’s owned retail channels, including retail locations in the Denver area as well as online through www.goenerplex.com. Distribution partners will be coming online later in the month.

The EnerPlex Surfr for Galaxy S4 takes advantage of Ascent’s ultra-light, thin and flexible solar panels and enables Galaxy users to boost their smartphones with sunlight in addition to conventional charging methods to extend usage time.

The EnerPlex case for Galaxy S4 is uniquely enabled by the lightweight, thin and highly customizable form factor of Ascent’s CIGS solar cells, allowing solar technology to be integrated into the thinnest and lightest solar-enabled Samsung case on the market. Paired with an ultra-thin lithium-ion battery, the EnerPlex Surfr provides hours of additional audio, web and talk time for users.

“Equipped with a 2500 mAh battery and solar panel for emergency charging, the Surfr for the Galaxy S4 remains extremely lightweight and retains a slim profile; making it a perfect accessory for those consumers who require more power for their phone while they are on the go,” said Robert Meck, Ascent Solar’s vice president of product development.
