At the end of 2008 Acroprint announced it's newest innovation to the time clock industry with the introduction of the Acroprint 125SP. Here is a portion of their official press release for this product:

Until now, environmentally-conscious options have been limited for businesses needing a rugged outdoor-capable time recorder. But Acroprint Time Recorder Company® has the answer: our innovative Model SP125 time recorder — the industry's first solar-powered heavy-duty employee time clock.

Simply plug in the included solar panel and expose it to sunlight. The panel can be conveniently positioned up to two feet away from the clock. The built-in long-lasting lithium battery immediately begins charging, using nothing more than free, clean sunlight. In just eight to ten hours, the battery is fully charged. The clock's state-of-the-art design means it maintains accurate time, even on cloudy days or at night.

Functionally equivalent to our renowned Model 125 time recorders, these tough solar-powered clocks are made in the U.S.A. and designed to withstand heat, cold, grime and other harsh conditions. The Model SP125 can be easily transported to remote worksites, making it convenient for workers to clock in and out. For longer-term installations, the clock mounts on a wall or desk, such as in a construction-site trailer, a barn or a garage - anywhere the solar panel can be positioned to get direct sunlight.

While revolutionary in it's approach, demand for this green-friendly, green time clock was not on the greener side of the fence for consumers and Acroprint discontinued this model shortly after it's introduction.
