Solar Fabric: Redefining Renewable Energy With Innovative Solar Textiles ! Solar Fabric is poised to change the face of wearable electronics. Imagine keeping your smartphone charged, or tracking your fitness and activity levels, just by wearing a certain textile — and without having to carry along a charger cord.
Energy harvesting textiles have emerged as a promising solution to sustainably power wearable electronics. Textile-based solar cells (SCs) interconnected with on-body electronics have emerged to meet such needs. These technologies are lightweight, flexible, and easy to transport while leveraging the abundant natural sunlight in an eco-friendly way.
Photovoltaic fabric is made up of organic photovoltaic cells (OPVs) embedded in textile materials. These cells convert solar energy into electricity, just like conventional solar panels. Soft photovoltaic cells are lighter and more flexible than glass cells, making them easier to integrate into a variety of applications.
Their flagship product, Solar Cloth, is composed of organic photovoltaic cells and is designed for easy integration into a variety of applications, such as awnings, parking lot shades and buildings. Asca, a subsidiary of the French Armor Group, specializes in the development and manufacture of flexible organic photovoltaic films.
