This is quite interesting, This is great for those long trips on the subway when all I have to do is use my ipod. :) It is also very stylish indeed.

They need to make the whole jacket a solar cell using Thin Film solar cells versus sticking small flexible solar panels on the jacket.

Once they get to a point where the fabric of the jacket is acutally made from solar cells, that is when I will buy a solar powered jacket.

There is actually usually more sunlight when it is cold then when it is hot.

Think about it.

When it is cold, there is a higher chance of there being snow, which sunlight reflects off of.

If you are in England, this might not be true, since it rains a lot, which means more clouds. You gotta feel sorry for those Brits. :(

nate,

it is cold and sunny in many places.

I can vouch for NYC and I think the penguins and Santa could weigh in on the poles.

Interesting. I’d like to know where it’s continually sunny and cold at the same time. What % of the population would be able to use such a thing?

So, that’s it? just the collar?

That’s not a whole lot of power. I thought the whole thing would be covered in solar cells.

You might be surprised. Polymer-based photovoltaic cells are tremendously thinner and more flexible than their glass cousins.
