"When we looked at other solar products we found most of them to be unattractive or inconvenient to carry around or spent most of their time inside a bag away from the sun. We wanted to design something that is always exposed to the sun, charges automatically as you go about your day and is appealing and more comfortable than what currently exists," Says Agust Agustsson, Vice President at Skajaquoda.
Skajaquoda is a research group based in Minnesota, USA. The company goal is to develop products that can restore the balance between humans and nature. Coming from two generations of electricians Einar Agustsson and Agust Agustsson wanted to build upon that knowledge and combine with their business education to progress sustainable energy technology and create something new.
Planned delivery of Sun Strap to Kickstarter backers is scheduled in December of 2014.
Earlier this year, Skajaquoda successfully funded its first Kickstarter campaign with the product; Trinity portable wind turbine power station that is currently being prepared for manufacturing.
