What is the Sunslice Project?
Sunslice is the brainchild of two best friends and passionate engineers who wanted to create an efficient solar charger for their long hiking trips. They dreamed of having an infinite source of energy available anytime, anywhere. Imagine a solar charger the size of a credit card, so thin it fits right in your wallet — a real slice of sunshine. That’s exactly what Sunslice set out to build. Since its founding in August 2017 in Belgium by Geoffroy Ghion and Henri Gernaey, Sunslice has grown into a globally recognized player in the solar charger industry, offering a wide variety of energy solutions designed to keep you powered up on the go.
Main Benefits of Sunslice
Here’s what makes Sunslice stand out:

- Working on a self-consumption kit to launch by the end of 2023
The Evolution of Sunslice Products
Starting with the tiny Photon solar charger, Sunslice has continuously pushed the boundaries of portable solar technology. The Fusion Flex range brought more power while keeping chargers small and lightweight, thanks to innovative CIGS flexible solar panels. This same technology powers the Zenith Solar Backpack, designed for those who want to carry solar energy wherever they go. And when it comes to storing that energy, the Gravity Powerbanks step in, making sure surplus solar power is ready whenever needed. Sunslice’s product line keeps expanding, always with the goal of making solar energy more accessible and practical.
Innovation Meets Real-Life Testing
The founders don’t just design these products—they live with them. Using Gravity Powerbanks to charge smartphones while cycling and navigating with GPS is second nature, but they noticed it wasn’t always easy to handle on the move. So, they combined the phone holder and powerbank into one clever device: the Cyclotron. This product has been a hit, showing how Sunslice listens to real user needs and keeps innovating to make life easier and more powered-up.
Addressing Energy Challenges
With energy prices climbing and the future looking uncertain, Sunslice has shifted focus to bigger challenges. They first created small solar generators for nomads, but now they’re tackling household needs—helping families prepare for blackouts and reduce electricity bills. Their solar generators feature state-of-the-art technology and powerful batteries designed to be user-friendly yet extremely effective. Sunslice is committed to providing long-term energy solutions that respond to the growing energy crisis and rising costs.
Project Impact on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
- SDG 7: Affordable and Clean Energy – Promoting access to reliable solar power
- SDG 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure – Driving innovation in solar technology
- SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities – Supporting energy resilience in households
- SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production – Encouraging sustainable energy use
- SDG 13: Climate Action – Reducing reliance on fossil fuels and lowering carbon footprint
Looking Ahead: The Future of Sunslice
As the energy crisis deepens, Sunslice is more determined than ever to innovate and support its community. The upcoming launch of a self-consumption kit by the end of 2023 aims to empower users to generate and manage their own solar energy, cutting down electricity bills and increasing energy independence. Sunslice’s journey from a tiny credit-card-sized charger to a full range of solar solutions shows a clear commitment to making solar power accessible, practical, and part of everyday life—whether you’re hiking in the mountains or preparing your home for the future.
