Recently, Japanese cellular provider KDDI released a Sharp waterproof, solar-powered cell phone, rumored to be renamed the SH002. Growing interest in both photovoltaic power as a green and clean source of energy and solar-powered devices has encouraged Sharp to globally release its new LR0GC02 solar module for mobile devices.

The LR0GC02 solar panel uses compact semiconductor packaging technology, which aids in keeping the panel thickness to a mere 0.8 mm. Sharp claims this is the thinnest level in the industry. The solar cells in the module are based on polycrystalline silicon and produce a top power of 300 milliwatts (mW). As an supplemental power source for mobile devices, the panel is designed to help save energy.
