GWS Technologies Inc. (OTCBB: GWSC) is an alternative energy company with a focus on solar and wind-powered renewable energy products and solutions. The company has developed a line of handheld microgeneration products using solar and wind power.

Microgeneration is the production of low-carbon electricity by individuals, small businesses or communities that help them meet their own energy requirements. As people and businesses become more aware and concerned with reducing their carbon footprint, new applications are being developed for alternative energy.

GWS today announced it is sourcing polycrystalline silicon cells and relative components in Shenzhen, China for its GWS Solstice, a handheld solar charger for personal electronic devices, from cameras to MP3 players and many more. The Solstice supports the advances made in the renewable energy market and a glimpse of the numerous applications for solar and wind energy.

“Our challenge in designing the Solstice is to incorporate the most advanced solar technologies in this very competitive, emerging market,” said GWS Vice President Michael Coskun.

The Solstice solar panels fold out to charge the device, then folds up to wallet-size, according to the press release. It will also come with several adaptors to fit various devices, an internal lithium battery, and durable construction.
