BARCELONA, FEBRUARY 16, 2010 – XPAL and Intivation are launching the Solar Egg, the world’s first high performance solar changer, at Mobile World Congress, 2010. The Solar Egg is based on XPAL’s outstanding battery expertise and Intivation’s groundbreaking SunBoost solar conversion technology.
Built by XPAL, with high power consumption users in mind, the Solar Egg can reach over 90% battery charge in just four hours of exposure during average charging conditions.

The charger is the first of its kind to recognise the power and convenience demands of consumers across the world and the challenges presented by less sunny places. Built to power a wide range of devices, from phones to MP3 players and digital cameras, the Solar Egg will reduce the need for multiple chargers and conveniently offer greater battery life.

“Solar power is a huge unrealised energy source particularly in the Western world which tends to have fewer hours of sunlight than developing markets,” says, Christian Scheder, President, XPAL, “As personal devices demand more energy and solar charging technology improves, we are making solar power available to more consumers and changing the way people world power their portable devices.”

Paul Naastepad, CEO, Intivation, added; “For years, people have been struggling to use solar chargers in the Western world with several issues. Either they simply don’t work with lower levels of sunlight, or they charge so slowly that it’s not worth it. Together with XPAL, we have developed a product that produces enough energy to power the numerous personal devices we all have today. The Solar Egg charges fully in four hours, in medium levels of natural light, and is compatible with the majority of consumer devices, bringing it one step closer to the universal charger people want.”

The Solar Egg will be available in select regions from March, with further roll out expected globally later this year.

BARCELONA, FEBRUARY 16TH, 2010 – Today at Mobile World Congress, 2010, Intivation and Inventec Appliances (Jiangning) Corporation (AIC) announced the launch of the GS109, a solar powered dual-sim feature phone.The new partnership between Intivation, a solar mobile technology company and IAC, a successful ODM company and owner of the OKWAP brand, has culminated in the launch of the GS109 solar feature phone, designed with the global market in mind.

The GS109 is a mid-level phone with a raft of previously unheard features of in the solar mobile space including: dual sim, SD memory card slot, bluetooth 2.1, video and photo camera, radio and MP3 player.

Paul Naastepad, CEO, Intivation, commented, “This is a great opportunity for Intivation to continue developing ground breaking technology with a partner that is a great fit for our business. IAC has strong heritage in design and manufacturing and together, we can support the needs of many more markets in the solar mobile space.”

Verne Zhang, President & CEO, AIC continues, “We have been excited by the potential of solar for some years now and Intivation are an ideal partner to work with. Together we can make full feature phones at entry level prices a reality for people for whom reliable electricity is a problem. This is an area of the market which shows great promise and we look forward to a strong relationship with Intivation.”

The GS109 will come to market in March 2010.

Yesterday Intivation has, in cooperation with one of its shareholders DOEN Participations and client Digicel, donated one thousand solar powered mobile phones to the Dutch Cooperating Aid Organisations and Haiti’s largest micro-finance institution in Port au Prince.

Good communication is an absolute necessity in disaster relief but Haiti currently has a tremendous power problem, which impedes charging mobile phones. The mobile network itself still functions in many instances due to backup generators, or it can be repaired much quicker than the electricity grid.

Intivation is a Dutch company that has invented a technology to enable mobile phones that can be charged exclusively on solar power. Mobile phones that use this technology have been deployed worldwide since 2009, predominantly in regions that do not have reliable electricity girds. Over half a million of these devices have been sold worldwide in the last six months.

DOEN Foundation, financed by the Dutch Postcode Lottery, joins the effort at the urging of Intivation shareholder DOEN Participations; normally the foundation does not focus on disaster relief. DOEN foundation has been a longstanding investor in Haiti, among its participations is Sèvis Finansye Fonkoze (SFF), the country’s largest micro finance institution. This organisation helps mostly women in Haiti with small loans so they can start businesses, and it has 37 branches that can be called on for the distribution of the solar phones.

Digicel is the largest mobile network operator in the Caribbean. Digicel has lost employees and their family members in the current disaster. The company has begun an extensive aid program, in which two private planes are being used for the relief effort to transport goods, and also the solar phones, to the Port au Prince area. Once a landing slot has been granted Digicel will ensure that the solar handsets will be delivered to SFF and Cordaid, which is coordinating the effort on behalf of the Cooperating Dutch Aid Organisations.
