Solly was seeking Kickstarter funding as of May 8, 2026, for a power bank combining a built-in wall charger, solar backup charging and travel-plug options. The company advertised a 20,000-mAh battery, two USB-C ports rated at up to 140 W and a full recharge from a wall outlet in 26 minutes.

Early pledges started at US$79, with worldwide deliveries planned for August 2026 if production proceeded as scheduled. The specifications and delivery timetable were campaign claims.

Charging ports and travel-plug options

Alongside the USB-C ports, the advertised design included a USB-A port for other cables and accessories. The campaign said the battery could recharge an iPhone 17 Pro Max up to four times, although actual results would depend on device use and charging conditions.

Solly listed dimensions of 3.15 x 2.36 x 1.38 inches, or 8 x 6 x 3.5 cm, with outlet prongs that folded into the body. US, UK and EU plug versions were advertised, alongside an optional adapter for additional outlet types.

The company also advertised pass-through charging, saying the device could power connected equipment from a wall outlet without charging its internal battery. It identified laptops and gaming handhelds among the devices this mode was intended to support.

Solar charging and battery claims

The exterior solar panel was advertised as a backup charging option when wall power was unavailable. Solly listed its recharge rate at 800 mAh per hour and said a protective layer was intended to reduce scratching on the panel.

The company described the battery as solid-state and claimed it would retain more than 80% of its performance and charge capacity over at least 3,500 charge cycles. It also described the exterior as shock-proof and water-resistant. These were manufacturer claims rather than independently established performance or protection ratings.

Campaign pricing and planned delivery

At the May 8 reporting date, the campaign listed an expected retail price of US$115, compared with early pledges starting at US$79. Three color options were advertised, with accessories including a short USB-C cable that doubled as a lanyard and a dock designed to charge five Solly units at once.

Delivery costs were to be calculated later in the year. The August 2026 shipping date remained a campaign target, conditional on production proceeding as planned. Solly was being offered through crowdfunding rather than as an in-stock retail product.
