Introduction
charger with integrated impact driver sets new benchmarks in environmentally friendly
technologies. Solar-powered impact driver is the marriage of two systems that have been
shown to have an enormous independent impact, but have rarely been used together in a

introduction of new (potentially high-value) impact drivers in regions where they could
not be sustained by electricity lines alone. Solar-powered impact drivers save potentially
hours of labor daily in rural off-grid areas where electricity is out and work is
traditionally done by hand. They are durable and immune to a brownout, and in the
medium- to long-term cost less than traditional impact drivers (Kohle et. al., 2002). When
used in tandem, these technologies allow for the production of the market, providing a

powered battery chargers is their portability. Thus, they can be used anywhere and at any
