These guys have come up with a portable and flexible textile that converts sunlight into electricity and allows you to carry the energy with you in the shape of a jacket or a tent.
The solar cell was incorporated in a transparent organdi textile and can be manufactured using industrial techniques such as silkscreen printing. The textile is now printed in pieces of 30x45cm, but by putting the textile-modules together you can create the exact form you need. The designers have also invented a technique which allows the electrical connection simply by sewing the cloth together with a thin copper thread.
