The integration of flexible solar Celts into clothing or accessories enables ubiquitous power generation for mobile electronic equipment. This contribution reports on recent progress in important areas of integrated phot6 voltaics' development, i.e. i) direct deposition of flexible solar cells on plastic foils: ii) forecast of the energy yield under realistic operating conditions; and iii) charge controller and system design. Modeling of the attainable energy yield proves the validity of the concept, and first prototypes demonstrate its feasibility.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
