“…Amorphous silicon solar cells have the better power generating efficiency than both single crystal silicon and CIGS solar cells in the condition of weak radiation, but the worse efficiency in the case of strong radiation [7]. According to the current performance of various thin-film solar cells, amorphous silicon solar cells is the most suitable, followed by CIGS and dye-sensitized solar cells, for solar textiles which are mainly used in indoor activities, but CIGS solar cells are more suited for outdoor activities [8,9].…”

Energy, environmental protection and climate change are the major topics of industry development and production research in recent years. The trends of energy saving and carbon reduction have grown up, and the green products are gradually to be emphasized. Among the various green products, the solar cell is a kind of successful product after many years of promotion and development. Also, the utilization and improvement of solar cell technologies and products have been advanced and diversified, and the territories of application are gradually expanded. According to this trend of green products and environmental issues, this paper discusses about the application of solar cell on textile design. The categories and characteristics of solar cells have been examined, and the requirements and system of textile utilization are also described. Finally, the technologies and methods of textile design with solar cells are explained to promote the solar textile application.

“…[1][2][3][4][5] The apparels using optoelectronic components have been an important issue for research. Schubert et al [6] studied a feasibility of integration of flexible solar cells with textiles, Hynek, Campbell and Bryden [7] utilized thin film solar cells to design a solar powered tie, and Vinluan [8] used the same idea for designing a solar powered bag. Harlin et al [9] discussed the principle and technology of polymer optic fibers for weaving with ordinary yarns into particular patterned fabrics, which could be shined by using LED lighting.…”

A method of modified innovative product design and development has been developed and used for a design work of innovative and multifunctional jackets with optoelectronic technologies in this study. This method has five working steps, including opportunity definition, opportunity exploration, opportunity confirmation, opportunity realization and achievement valuation. At first, the method of personas was used to develop key factors of design themes for an innovative jacket, and then the Delphi method was utilized to identify these factors by a group of experts. This paper described the design method, and illustrated the process to find out and decide design criteria for developing a jacket with optoelectronic effect.

“…Small aircrafts, cars, and various electric appliances could cover part of their power demand from the ubiquitous ambient illumination of their free-form cases if compliant PV became available. Another application of flexible PV is the clothing integration of small PV systems for powering portable electronic devices [17][18][19].…”
