to combat the growing needs to power mobile devices, XD design looked to solar panels to develop the ‘ginkgo solar tree’ charger. the contours where sparked by japense ginkgos, which are long lasting often tall and slender, sparsely branched trees. unlike the trees, the solar charger comes with a large 4,000 mAh rechargeable lithium battery to store solar energy. it is manufactured from recycled plastics and bamboo, in addition to an aluminum base that incorporates a small black grip to stand phones and tablets. 

the base blends LED lighting to indicated charging and the battery status along with discrete cable storage. located at the back, the USB output can rapidly charge devices in two hours, with enough storage to power an additional two phones. XD design’s ‘ginkgo solar tree’ is now available for purchase at their online shop.
