These durable, flexible solar cells, which are much thinner than human hair, are glued to a strong, lightweight fabric, making them easy to install on a fixed surface.
A group of engineers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) created ultralight fabric solar cells that can quickly and easily convert any surface into a power source. The durable, flexible solar cells, which are thinner than human hair, could be an interesting solution for deployment in remote locations or for emergency assistance in the event of a power outage.
According to an MIT press release, these solar cells are glued to a strong, lightweight fabric, making them simple to install on a fixed surface. They can provide energy on the go as a wearable power fabric or be transported and quickly deployed in remote locations for emergency assistance.
