Alternative Energy

You could be doing more than just standing around outside in your solar energy collecting jacket. It is possible for you and your clothing to act as a portable solar panel when you are outside. The list just got longer for why it is good to take a walk outside.

If you have ever wished that it were easy to carry around a battery recharger and a source of energy for your mobile phone, then look no further. You can now wear that portable solar energy battery and access pack that is adjustable for different size voltage needs within the gadget and battery size standards.

There’s A Sunny Spot

All you have to do is after you slip into one of these jackets is to head outside and go to the nearest sunny spot and you can get enough electrical juice to recharge your solar powered iPod or any other gadget that uses a battery or uses a low voltage. It is all wires and plugs from this point, as the electricity is made accessible to your low voltage devices and batteries.

You can use the energy from the mini wearable solar panels for 5V USB devices, 6V cell phones and recharging batteries. You use an LED display to read the amount of power that has been generated by the jacket’s solar panels.

Not Hot Under The Collar

Miniaturized electronics for the jacket use the energy created from solar panels placed on the collar that generate a 1-watt charge in direct sunlight. The solar system for the jacket uses a system technology called iSolarX. Modules may vary in flexibility and size for varying charging powers.

You will be able to walk the dog, stroll on the boardwalk and tiptoe through the tulips while acting as a photon seeking techno-fashion plate as you enjoy your outing. It is all good and it does not get much better than this for the outdoors loving people who also value the ability to recharge their mobile phone and their batteries. Based on technology that uses flexible solar panel material, the jacket is on the market and being sold by the Italian ZEGNA company.
