Petteri Alinikula, Nokia's Head of Product Sustainability and one of the testers in action on the Baltic Sea<\/figcaption><\/figure>Finnish cell phone giant Nokia is on a mission to find out how to apply solar power technology to cell phone technology.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The company started a project in June called Nokia Solar Charging Project which is coming to its conclusion at the end of September. It sent a group of people on the road so they could see how solar charging would work in different scenarios. <\/p>\n

They have been sailing across the Baltic Sea, camping in a Swedish forest and exploring Kenya in Africa to make the experiment as broad as possible.<\/p>\n

The testers are using specially created mobile phones prototypes which the company has nicknamed Lokki. These are especially developed small solar charging panels that were integrated to Nokia C1-02 devices. Meanwhile, a data logger will report the harvested solar energy. <\/p>\n

Check out their blog<\/a> to read reports of the experiment and further insights into this instigating experiment. Nokia is on the right path to develop solar power<\/a> for mobile communications and hopefully this experiment will produce applicable results.<\/p>\n
