Berlin-based startup, Changers, is introducing a portable solar charging system for everyone that aims to reduce global warming by shifting society to the use of a currency backed by the sun.
The Changers System™ gives each of us way to harness the sun’s energy, liberate us from the grid, recharge our devices, socialize our energy production, and compete with each other to earn Changers Credits™ that can be spent in the Changers Marketplace™.
Changers, the company that gives people the power to transform their energy behavior, is launching the Changers System, the world’s first Social Energy Marketplace on the Web: www.changers.com. The Changers System enables people to produce their own energy, measure how much they produce, and convert it into a currency that’s backed by the sun. Today, to jump-start all of us into independent power generators, Changers is debuting an intelligent personal solar charging kit that captures energy, records how much power it has generated, and then uploads precise metrics to the energy marketplace—Changers.com—for tracking, sharing, competing and redemption into Changers Credits. The Changers Starter Kit includes the revolutionary Changers Kalhuohfummi™ solar battery and the Changers Maroshi™ solar module. The Changers Kalhuohfummi is a simple, one-button device that communicates with Changers.com. Inside is advanced intelligence that accurately measures how much energy it captures and stores in the built-in battery, ready to charge any smartphone or tablet. The Changers Kalhuohfummi solar battery is powered by the Changers Maroshi flexible solar module, which generates up to four Watts per hour — enough to charge the Kalhuohfummi battery in four hours. The Changers Maroshi solar panel, which is produced in Colorado, USA, can be attached to any window or sunny surface. “Each of us takes it for granted that we have limitless energy on tap, and as a result we have become completely disconnected from how our actual energy usage impacts the planet,” said Markus Schulz, co-founder and CEO of Changers. “The Changers System aims to shift our attitudes and behavior by enabling each of us to produce our own energy, measure and visualize the real effect of this simple act, and then share our contributions with others. We think that if you can unite people in the pursuit of renewable energy, even small amounts of energy, it will lead to a dramatic transformation in how we source and consume energy.”
