July 28, 2008, 4:06 PM — QuickerTek has introduced a new model Apple Juicz solar charger for the MacBook and MacBook Pro.

Apple Juicz both powers and charges your Apple laptop while the computer is active. The company assures its solar solution is much lighter, more flexible and simply easier to tote about than other similar solutions,

Apple Juicz for MacBook and MacBook Pro folds to only 10.5 inches and comes with a carrying case. It offers 55 Watts of power and unfolds to a sun-grabbing 60 x 42 inches.

QuickerTek also sells a ($100) modified MagSafe power adaptor which is required in order to use the solar solution, which itself costs $1,000.

The Apple Juicz MacBook Solar Charger is backed with a one-year warranty on parts and labor.
