Both 27W and 55W models are available

QuickerTek has expanded its line of solar chargers to include new models capable of supplying power to MacBooks. The Apple Juicz chargers feature a flexible solar cell that can be folded for storage while traveling. The 27 watt version unfolds to 41.5 x 30.5 inches and is claimed to recharge a MacBook or MacBook Pro in eight to 12 hours when used in optimum sunlight conditions. A 55 watt model is said to charge a notebook in as few as five hours.

Both chargers include a 3 foot extension cable, MagSafe connector, notebook bag, and a 12V cigarette lighter port. A connector is also provided for attaching external batteries.

The Juicz chargers are compatible with 13-, 15-, and 17-inch MacBooks. The 27 watt version carries a price of $700, while the 55 watt variant costs $1,200.
