“Ray” is  solar charger for small electronic gadgets that features a unique suction cup design. Inventor Brandon Craven created “Ray” to provide a portable power source for individuals who are constantly draining the battery of their phone, PDA or iPod.

The charger features an interesting suction cup design that allows the solar panel to be attached to any window – including car windshields and airplane windows. The tilting kickstand can be adjusted for maximum solar exposure when the unit is on a surface.

Additional features: a battery that stores enough energy to fully charge a cell phone, a USB port that allows for easy charging via your computer or laptop, and an LED indicator light that shows status of Ray’s battery.

The Ray will retail for $39.99 when it goes into production. (You can help it on its way by pre-ordering one.) Find it at quirky.com
